There’s a stunning clarity to the way Savio characterizes the nature of this struggle: “Sometimes, the grievances of people are more…than just the law,” he said, “[they] extend to a whole mode of arbitrary power, a whole mode of arbitrary exercise of arbitrary power.” The sights here are set on the university as something that not only upholds an oppressive status quo in preventing rights to free assembly and speech, but that is, in itself, a kind of factory run, as all of them are in capitalism, as “an autocracy” (in this case under UC President Clark Kerr).

Indeed, over the last several years, these students are participating in a broader strike wave, as everyone from teachers to grocery workers to Amazon logistics workers to fast-food workers have agitated or are currently agitating against for material improvements and important protections. As such, higher education has been increasingly framed as an investment, a certification, a stepping stone, rather than something that has intrinsic value, and this has brought on a number of unfortunate effects, both in terms of who studies what and how subjects are taught. And as that firecracker now explodes—with protests erupting in over 140 American cities following the killings of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd—all three victims of racist violence, not to mention a long history of police aggression and violence against minority communities—it’s a time for righteous anger, surely, for lines to be drawn in the proverbial sand.

The reaction, as he put it in his introduction to The Essential Mario Savio: Speeches and Writings, was a coordinated official attack on subversive elements in the university’s student body, “permissive” administrators, and professors deemed to be “communist.” It happened from the top down, and, he notes, “[t]he current era of privatization and neoliberalism was born in Berkeley as a countermovement to the 60’s.” In essence, it is here, in that push-pull, that you can see the campus culture-wars begin to crystallize, and you can see how these conflicts reflected wider ones in society. He notes that the feed was specifically modeled to operate like Las Vegas slot machines: providing just enough reinforcement with the occasional win and flash of lights, while actually exploiting the user and taking their money.

Curfews are being imposed in more and more cities, the National Guard and even U.S. military is being called in, and police violence abounds. Concessions were won when bodies closed down roads, when they picketed and physically occupied the collective space and imagination. The central image of Savio’s speech—the University of California system as a factory whose “gears” are meant to spit out passive, conforming students into the market—is a lofty one, but one that seems particularly prescient. Between Reagan, and, of course, another Californian politician, Nixon, you see a conservative vilification of “the egg-heads” and intellectuals, and an attempt to use institutions to constrain radicalism and incendiary thought. Propaganda and the Weaponization of Storytelling. Certainly, Apple Corp’s Steve Jobs, or Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, channeled some of those ideas in their early approaches and influenced subsequent leaders, if perhaps somewhat disingenuously (more free market libertarian, perhaps, than socio-anarchic).

And here, of course, Savio draws out the implications: “if this is a firm, and if the Board of Regents are the Board of Directors, and if President Kerr in fact is the manager, then I tell you something—the faculty are a bunch of employees and we're the raw material…we’re a bunch of raw materials that don't mean to be…made into any product!” In a sense, Savio and the FSM aimed to unmask the liberal notions of what a university, ideally, was supposed to do, and point to its normative, and even class-reinforcing function. Quotes []. And as the space for activism (as well as commerce and many other aspects of life), by necessity, has moved even further online, it also becomes important to investigate the many connections between the FSM and the counterculture of the 60’s writ large and the development of personal computer technology.

When our country was rapidly becoming an epicenter of COVID-19, throughout March and April, as the death toll mounted, as federal and state responses were patchy, uneven, and in some cases tantamount to murder; as jobs evaporated along with insurance coverage; as banks and businesses were bailed out while most of the rest of us were and are not; and as our so-called benevolent billionaires hid out while tenants found themselves unable to pay rent, the American—by which I mean the late-capitalist—project seems desperate and cruel, a lit fire-cracker circling a drain.
