Summary

We look back at the revolutionary dropout cultures of 1960s and 2000s, a time when middle class youth fled the suburbs to be free in urban bohemia. We look at the popular anarchist ideas and practices during these times alongside the relationship between counterculture, the left, and liberation movements.

Armed Love is a series about the revolutionary subculture of the sixties. Episode one was an interview with Peter Coyote, and episode 2 was a discussion of Charles Manson and the Lyman Family, and episode 3 an interview with Black Mask and Up Against the Wall founder Ben Morea: Part 1, Part 2

0:00.0	Welcome to Armed Love, the fourth episode of Armed Love.
0:07.0	This is a little Antifada Side Project about the revolutionary politics and culture of the 60s.
0:15.0	Previously in the series, I've had two episodes talking to 60s
0:18.7	Revolutionaries, Ben Morea and Pier Coyote.

0:36.7	participant in Crime Think, and Crime Think of course has many people, but I this is

0:46.6	Yeah I'm pleased to be speaking with you today and
0:51.0	I'm looking forward to the conversation.
1:02.0	Great so hopefully everybody knows a little bit about Crime Think, but in case you don't, why don't you tell them what Crime Think is? Well, Crime Think is an anarchist collective.
1:05.0	We got our start in the early to mid 90s.

1:22.0	People started working together and making posters,
1:27.0	zines, releasing records. Eventually we were publishing this sort of philosophical newspaper called Harbinger and then we started
1:38.3	publishing books in the year 2000 and expanded what we've been doing since then.
1:45.0	That's the short version.
1:47.0	And so for me, the reason why I thought of having you
1:51.0	on to talk about the 60s is during the 2000s, which is when I became the most politicized,
