of the sixties" that contradicted  
his other political statements.  
Around that time, many liberal  
intellectuals wrote favorably about  
Lewis, who had made himself  
an avowed Marxist, a position  
they abhorred. Lewis's admiration  
for German socialism, which he had  
stated openly in interviews,  
was on the receiving end of a  
stinging attack by fellow black  
liberals who disagreed with the  
Marxist bent of his criticism of  
American racism. And by then, the  
crusade against hippies, long underway,  
had made Lewis a pariah in liberal  
circles. The very term hippie was  
stigmatized by critics as perjorative,  
and those who had supported Lewis  
when he was the darling of the  
intellectual world now treated him  
with contempt.
Lewis was no longer an  
unconstrained figure, but a wild-eyed  
radical who yearned for  
a utopian future. He did not hesitate  
to transform himself, and his fans  
seem to have been content with this  
unwillingness to be pinned down  
and limited. But it was this  
transformation that led him into a  
world of which he would have little  
compunction to complain. He had  
said that he wanted to be a  
classical anarchist. As he told a  
friend, "I want to be a complete  
anarchist but I want to be  
something. I want to be a whole  
man."
His feelings about American  
democracy led him to describe himself  
as a "crypto-communist," and his  
friend Ralph Ginzburg, publisher  
of the dissident magazine The_New  
American, dubbed him the most  
important young man in the country.  
But in his own mind he was  
something more. He liked to tell  
people that he was a "benevolent  
dictator" who would not force others  
to do what they didn't want to do.
