Revolutionists Among the Chicago Demonstrators

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1176/ajp.127.6.752

The author compared the characteristics of 19 self-designated "revolutionists" arrested during the 1968 Democratic National Convention with those of 88 nonrevolutionary activists. While the revolutionists talked a great deal about overthrowing the established government, there was no evidence that they were plotting an insurrection or going underground. The author believes that such revolutionists are part of a much larger youthful group that is in revolt against the prevailing American life style and values and that we need techniques other than repression to respond to this youth culture.
