		The Youth International Party, known as the Yippies, was created by Abbie Hoffman, Anita Hoffman, and Paul Krassner in 1967, near the height of the tensions involving Vietnam and the social and racial issues that were exploding almost daily all across the country.
		The Yippies were extreme leftists who enjoyed condemning America, raising hell, and promoting moral, sexual, and political anarchy.
		In January, 1968 Yippies invited the Far Left from around the world to converge on Chicago, where the Democratic National Convention was to be held.

		One of the Yippies, convicted of freeing a prisoner and assaulting a cop, was sentenced to 2 1/2 years by a judge who denounced rioters as “modern savages.” The judge told him: “Your offenses, in light of other similar recent disturbances, pose a grave threat to the whole community.”(2)
		The Yippies were protesting Nixon’s invasion of Cambodia and the shooting of unarmed students at Kent State.
		Yippie!, the May 4th Movement or M4M, and the Vancouver Liberation Front (a more self-consciously Marxist-Leninist faction) marched across the Canada-U.S. border, crossing at the town of Blaine, Wash.(3) Neo-Nazis attacked the demonstration at one point, but were soundly thrashed.

	Yippies \| Encyclopedia of Drugs and Addictive Behavior
		In 1968, another protest event was staged—the Chicago Yippie Convention—timed to coincide with the Chicago Democratic Presidential Convention and considered an opportunity to protest the VIETNAM War.
		Yippies challenged the establishment with a Festival of Life and invited drug-using hippies to attend; it included LSD seminars, rock shows, light shows, films, marches, love-ins, put-ons, guerrilla theater, and bizarre stunts—such as nominating a pig named Pigasus for president.
		The protest escalated into a confrontation with Chicago authorities; the mayor called out the police; and, in a rioting atmosphere, Yippies were beaten and imprisoned; the presidential convention was disrupted; Yippie leaders were tried in a case that became known as the Chicago Seven; and the Democrats lost the 1968 election.

		At the protest, the Yippies had declared their intention to "levitate" the Pentagon, and to exorcise it of all the evil spirits that were killing Americans and Vietnamese women and children thousands of miles away.
		The Yippies spread the word in the media that they were celebrating the spring equinox (first day of spring) and 6,000 came.
		The Yippies were in their element as they proclaimed their candidate for president to be a pig they named Pigasus, to show how awful the human choices were.

		Yippies were not a formal organization but a loosely-linked group that existed throughout the United States, mainly in the larger cities.
		When yippies in one locale were asked what they stood for and believed in, the answers would be vastly different from those in another locale.
		Yes, yippies were easily identified, and they could be considered by most people to be oddities who were demonstrating their constitutional right to be different, unless they caused problems that were in violation of the law.

		Their leaders are Jerry Rubin 30, he of the bare chest, Che Guevera beret, Viet Cong trousers and plastic gun; and Abbie Hoffman, the electric yo-yo player who went through Chicago with a four-letter word painted on his forehead because, he says, it kept his picture off the TV screens.
		Yet in interviews he smiles disarmingly and says the Yippies are pure theatre, the politics of the absurd, an attempt to laugh the present system to death.
		He announced that Yippies would put LSD into the Chicago water supply and send the population on a trip; the police took him seriously and guarded the pumping stations.

		Los yippies habían repartido sangre en pequeñas bolsas de plástico.

	Urban Dictionary: yippie
		Yippies rejected all -isms, including socialism and anarchism, in favor of the motto of "Do your own thing"--i.e., don't conform to a specific system of belief but rather be an individual.
		The Yippies' most famous actions include the attack on the New York Stock Exchange (when Yippies threw money to the floor and watched as those below fought for it) and their involvement at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago, at which they nominated a pig for president.
		Much of the Yippies' activism consisted of guerrilla street theater and symbolic acts (such as that at the NYSE) to make a point; Yippies understood the power of the media and sought press to disseminate their revolutionary messages with a pointed disinterest in the accuracy of the stories told about them.

	Critique of the New Left Movement
		In the end the Yippies displayed all the positivity and negativity of populist criminals, whose method of forging a life underground is helpful in its practical suggestions for survival, but retards the growth of proletarian opposition through its primitive dualism and its opportunities for partial or vicarious participation.
		The Yippies further retarded themselves through the continued acceptance of false antinomies of the counterculture (hip/straight, the generations, Eastern and Western consciousness at all levels of mystification), and by their symbiotic relationship with the Left, which offered them a questionable stage in return for their questionable support.
		While the Yippies created an illusory radical subjectivity based on romantic individualism and the thrill of watching themselves piss in public, Weatherman sought to smash all subjectivity in order to build a WeatherMachine in which all resistance to bureaucratic authority was deemed bourgeois.

		Now we're older, but our hearts are in the same place, still fighting the beast."Perhaps the longest-running Yippie political acts have been smoke-ins, which first appeared in New York in 1967 and evolved by the mid-70's into their current form, the annual pot parades.
		There is the revolving crank, in which the phone is passed around a room, with Yippies taking turns jeering the target on the other end.
		One crank battle, between the Yippies and a former member, lasted 16 years, from 1979 to 1995.Painted across the facade of 9 Bleecker are faded letters spelling out "The Yipster Times" and "Bleecker Street Publishing." Those words bear witness to another role for the building, as the group's editorial offices from 1973 to 1989.

		Many groups in the sixties were so earnest and self-righteous that the Yippies provided some of the only examples of radicals with a sense of humor.
		At the protest, the Yippies had declared their intention to "levitate" the Pentagon, and to exorcise it of all the evil spirits that were killing Americans and Vietnamese women and children thousands of miles away.
		I think perhaps that, as much as we enjoyed the efforts of the early Yippies to draw attention to important issues through humor and satire, it became pretty apparent that those tactics were not going to result in real change happening.
