Crass aren't just accussed of being Hippies; Penny freely admits to it. Accept it as a fact that the primary purpose of Crass was to spread hippie politics. Music and all else was secondary to this.
And, in regards to what they were advocating; talk about a failure. Whether it be the idiocy of their anti-Capitalist rhetoric, the endless screetching about an impending environmental disaster of monolith proportions, etc.
...and yet, despite this, they're thought of as a good band.
