There were many political organizations that accompanied the hippie movement such as the Students for a Democratic Society (launched in 1960) and the Youth International Party (YIP) (launched in 1967).
There were also more radical political organizations such as the Weather Underground (created in 1969), a group which broke from the Students for a Democratic Society.

The hippie movement was preceded and heavily influenced by the Beat Generation movement, with people such as Allen Ginsberg, who was a supporter of communist regimes.

The Beat Generation was closed to pop stars representative of the hippie movement such as Bob Dylan, who supported the political movements mentioned above (The title of the song Subterranean Homesick Blues (1965) comes in part from the name of the Beat Generation writer Jack Kerouac, and the lyrics “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows”, is a reference to the organization Weather Underground).
