A possibility:
"Like the generation that spawned it, the Movement was complex 
yet elemental, cooperative yet individualistic. In terms of 
politics, it included moderates, liberals, radicals and, on the 
far fringe, anarchists. Ideologically, to borrow from 
Talleyrand's dictum, some saw the war as an avoidable blunder 
of a reformable system, while others saw it as an unavoidable 
crime of a system in need of being overthrown. Goals ranged 
from a negotiated peace to a victory for the NLF that would 
cripple the neo-imperialist beast. Most concretely, though, 
what people actually did was vote, march, sit in, or trash. . . ."
