Must see. Without rhetoric. Truth seeker. Brilliant. Blow your mind and think differently--TODAY. He would be called inciter of terrorism today....Think about it... How controlled you are, impeded to act against what you believe and feel deeply to be morally unacceptable.

Everything he described as happening THE (1930s - 1960s) is FAR FAR WORSE now 2015. We need his insight and intellect and humane anarchopacifist point of view now.
Very enjoyable for me. A great companion piece would be a movie about the New York Intellectuals which is available on Amazon or Netflix (I hope it is not considered disloyal to mention these streaming services). One mistake-- twice in this movie Goodman was referred to as "the philosopher of the New Left." This is wrong on 2 counts: First, I believe this title is usually (and correctly) ascribed to Herbert Marcuse. Second, the movie itself showed that Goodman had sharp disagreements with and little respect for SDS; he was in accord with the New Left only up through the Free Speech Movement (1964).
I guess I was expecting more information of his ideas, thoughts and insights which I think the movie was lacking.
