I had a High School(California) "Social Studies" teacher during my Senior year(1967)who forced us to read the "Manchester Guardian" in class(zzzzzzz).
We thought both the teacher, and the paper, were pretty Leftist, even in those days. The teacher, a "Radical-Chic" sort of fellow, was pretty popular with the students from the wealthier families.
Many of these students went on to UC Berkeley and Stanford after graduation and became counter-culture "Hippies/Student Radicals". Hippies that drove cool Cadillac convertibles, early '60's Mercedes Benz sedans, Range Rovers, and converted Hearses, that is. And they always had plenty of spending money.
Mommy and Daddy were wealthy Capitalists perhaps, but these trust-fund kids rejected all that, of course. They had "Che" posters in their rooms and read Neitszche, Marcuse, and Hesse. They were "good" little Socialists and anti-war protesters until the Viet Nam war ended or they graduated college. Whichever came first.
Then it was time to grow-up(now that it was "safe"), join Daddy in the boardroom, get that new BMW, and become that Icon of the late '70's and '80's:
