\u201cThe social movements of the 60s were, on the whole, left-wing in inspiration, but they were also rebellions against bureaucracy or, to put it more accurately, rebellions against the bureaucratic mindset, against the soul-destroying conformity of the postwar welfare states. In the face of gray functionaries of both state-capitalist and state-socialist regimes, sixties rebels stood for individuality and spontaneous conviviality, and against (\u2018rules and regulations, who needs ‘em?\u2019) every form of social control. With the collapse of the old welfare states, all of this has come to seem decidedly quaint.\u201d
