1. Cultural Marxism doesn't exist, because Marxism is a school of economics.
2. Jefferson had some beliefs in common with the hippies. He distrusted cities and large businesses and extolled the virtues of self-reliant farm life. He was also quite sceptical of Christianity.

1. Standard marxism wanted to destroy the economy, cultural marxism... I think you can see where this leads to. If the shoe fits...
2. Many hippies became "Jesus freaks". Madalyn Murray O'Hair was G.I. - her Boomer son was "reborn".

Having been there in the hippie era, I can attest to the transformational effect of the catastrophically unexpected.  I knew several people who were present at an overdose by a close friend.  Most simply mourned, asked themselves if they did all they could do, and healed.  A few took it hard, and, miraculously, found Jesus.  I can't say they were wrong. It was their coping mechanism.
