In my generation it was either the tale that emboldens the communist youth organizer, or the beginning of the end if you followed online conspiracies. On personal level what pissed me off the most was having to suffer the arrogance of old marxist boomers who pretended that "going to protest" is a supreme act of self sacrifice and heroism. The guys who did g8 at genova in the 2000s had an attitude of hero martyr superior morality that was intolerable. So I have my ideas bout 68 and g8 and whatever. But I cant just take some boomer narrative and believe it, its impossible to connect dots by listening to these people, we need historians for a reason.</blockquote>
