This documentary highlights the aspects of the 1960s social revolution that I think we need to see a return to in modern times, it also highlights the reasons why I think authentic LSD needs to become available to the people who can do the most with it, along with the other classics, but LSD in particular is at a low point in terms of availability....
Regardless, this is crucial cultural information for any psychedelico.

Sustained radical change is not possible. There is evidence for this everywhere, including common sense. Look at the sixties...

..bussiness as usual is NOT an option (though the people profitting from bussiness as usual will force feed you this lie until we have stolen all the futures resources and destroyed the earth....its like taking food directly from your future generations mouths! Its raping mother earth!
Business as usual can not sustain itself....this is obvious, and change is unavoidable....
Look at the 1960s, everything they fought for is becommng the future, equal rights, protecting the enviroment, peace, love, and working with nature....hell, even Steve jobs credits the 1960s culture and LSD for his amazing technological innovations.....so yes, look at the 1960s, because it did NOT fail, the dominators were never able to quite get the lid back on this thing....and we are a threat to those who fight change, for those who want to continue their their irresponsible destruction of this planet, its people and its resources.....the revolution of the 1960s is not the past, its a glimpse of things to come, of the true future of this planet and humanity.

Oh how I wish this romantic notion were in any way truly possible.
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

Yeah as I stated above it really isn't. Plus, this is first world talk. What about the three billion in the third world? The apocalypse already came for a lot of them a long time ago. Where in hell do they fit in?

You should read acid dreams. I have the feeling that you romanticise the 60s, we need to understand that history NEVER repeats itself. There is a need for a new movement but the 60s can only teach us what went wrong and not how to do it. There was no vision during the 60s, nothing that could be a goal.

Acid dreams is a good read! I second the suggestion.

Yes, absolutely right. Whether we know it or not, or whether we admit it or not, we and all humans have, since the dawn of man, been part of a story, or, if you want, a cultural narrative. I'll bet many cynics of the modern age think they're independent, but they're not at all, even language itself does it -- very largely. Anyway, humans have always had stories, good bad indifferent, to be part of, and the whole explosion of the sixties didn't offer one. A lot of drugs, happy feelings and good vibes, sure, but that only goes so far. You need a new story, a new narrative in which to place yourself, your society and your species. Nobody anywhere, at any time did that during the counterculture revolution of the 1960s. That is why 'the wave crashed, and rolled back.'
