    Why not? Many were.

    Hippies can be anything they want to be. That's what it's all about.

    no, hippies are only allowed to be one or more of the following:

    - stoned
    - in a threesome
    - that guy who likes the grateful dead
    - a tree
    - up a tree
    - in love with a tree
    - asleep on a rainbow
    - "... far out man, whatever - wanna have some soup???"

    A hippie is a person who beleives in peace and love, and whatever else you beleive in. (assuming you're a hippie) That's what a hippie is.
    I don't see why they couldn't be

    Are you stupid?

    No, but really, that was totally part of the stereotype. That's why a lot of people hated hippies: they were afraid of the commies.

    Communism, though distinctive, is thought by some to have been heavily influenced by Czarism, a Totalitarian regime replaced by Communism after Russia's 1917 Revolution. While most of Europe's history has been symbolized by the rule of limited centers of power, Russia resisted Europe's movement to limit monarchical power. Legal historian Harold Berman writes regarding historical European political policy, "It also has been, or once was, a source of freedom. A serf might run to the town court for protection against his master. A vassal might run to the king's court for protection against his lord. A cleric might run to the ecclesiastical court for protection against the king." (Law and Revolution). Russians under Czarist rule had no such protection from the wiles of an unjust Czar. And so it is for Communists. Under Communism, the government is absolute. Under Stalin, perhaps the most notorious Communist, around 40 million Russian citizens were murdered for "the good of the state."

    Communism has killed more people than every casualty in the holocaust.
    But sure, anyone can be communist. Actually communism is not so bad in theory, it just so far hasn't worked in practice.


    How did you know i was a tree in love with a tree and we were all in a threesome with someone up a tree while we listened to the grateful dead, and then afterwards we got stoned, had soup, and fell asleep on a rainbow?
