A Review of Generation '68: The Elite Revolution and Its Legacy
How elites rigged society against our family and nation.
Were the 1960s drug-toking hippies and rebels fighting for freedom, or pawns in an elite plot to radically reshape the American social fabric and sever the bonds of family and nation? In Generation '68: The Elite Revolution and Its Legacy (2023, Antelope Hill Publishing), Kerry Bolton exposes how globalist liberal elites funded the New Left to reshape society, creating the rootless, liberal culture that nationalists fight today. With meticulous research, Bolton reveals how these forces manipulated the youth through academia, the media, and youth organizations. For young right-wing men, this book is a wake-up call and a blueprint to reclaim power through authentic, nationalist youth movements. It’s a must-read to understand and reverse the elite’s grip on America.
The 1960s counterculture wasn’t a rebellion, but a liberal globalist elite plot to subvert American masculinity, family, and nation, turning away from Soviet communism and toward liberal capitalism. In Generation '68 (2023), Kerry Bolton lays it out: CIA funding propped up the New Left, targeting groups like the National Student Association and World Youth Festivals to push ‘freedom’ that hid elite control. As socialist Colin Crouch said, “neo-liberalism and capitalism made the main gains,” hiding elite control behind market forces. Rockefellers bankrolled Critical Theorists like Herbert Marcuse, Erich Fromm, and Theodor Adorno, plus sexologist Alfred Kinsey and other Frankfurt School figures, to push ideas that broke traditional bonds and turned youth into global consumers. Media propaganda, from Woodstock’s fake rebellion to liberal mass media, spread Marcuse’s radical poison. Bolton’s book, aimed at nationalists and dissident-right readers, shows how this American color-revolution created the rootless culture we’re stuck with. It’s a call to young right-wing men: understand how elites reshaped society to exploit it for their own gain, and use this blueprint to build real nationalist youth movements to take back power.
We’re stuck in the wreckage of the ‘60s elite plot Bolton exposes in Generation '68—a world where masculinity is trashed, families broken, and nations sold out for globalist profit and invasion at their borders. Bolton’s strength is his airtight research: a 1951 CIA report shows the agency funneled cash through the Rockefeller Foundation to control the National Student Association, even deferring leader Allard Lowenstein’s draft to keep him steering youth against communism. Quotes from Marcuse and Adorno lay bare how elites used the New Left to gut tradition. His clear, no-fluff style makes it accessible for nationalists, not just academics, showing young right-wing men how power really works. It’s a playbook for fighting back: build movements that reject globalist lies and restore American strength.
Compared to his Revolution from Above, this book zooms in on cultural sabotage, making it a must for dissident-right readers. But it’s not perfect: the dense sections, packed with names and dates, can weigh you down or get you lost if you’re not a history buff or are not ready to heavily focus on the info. Bolton also doesn’t fully lean into the Jewish role in the New Left—Marcuse, Adorno, Horkheimer are named, but he stops short of calling out their influence as a pattern. Any careful reader who understands Jewish power would see the massive role they played in this cultural revolution from the top. This might frustrate nationalists who see it clearly. Still, the book’s insight into elite networks—academia, media, NGOs—hits hard, showing how they turned youth into pawns for profit. For young right-wing men, it’s a gut-punch: the ‘60s didn’t just happen; they were engineered to destroy us. Bolton’s work demands you read it and act.
Generation '68 opened my eyes to a period I didn’t fully grasp—how elites rigged society against our family and nation. For nationalists with little institutional power, again that’s a gut-punch. Bolton’s take on tactics, like using the Black Panthers to scare whites into accepting the Civil Rights Act, hands us a playbook to fight back. For young right-wing men, locked out of elite systems, this book’s a spark. It showed me we can start small—reach youth where globalist gatekeepers don’t own us, like social media, and courageously spread raw truth, as well as be on the lookout for gatekeepers and elites that seek to subvert an authentic American nationalism. Institutional capture takes time, but Bolton’s hard-hitting research proves that effectively equipped generational shifts can restore our strength. It’s for men like us, ripped from our roots, who must fight for our nation—no one else will. Grab this book to understand elite power and influence, then get into politics—run for local office, influence your community, and use Bolton’s lessons to build a nationalist America.
