Are you saying that these were distinctively supported by young people?
If so, I’m skeptical that “stopping the red scare witch hunts” falls in that category, at least if you mean McCarthyism. The others seem more reasonable to me.
Which one? I mean, superficially, the second option on the list (“Non-aligned countries”) is not actually a policy proposal, but I’m assuming the charitable reading is something like “Support for non-alignment”. Is that what you meant, or something else?
Neither was ending the Vietnam war. For that matter, did the Non-Aligned movement accomplish much of anything besides providing cover for various dictators?
I considered those two options but figured that they’re more muddled cases. Africa decolonization was clearly an order of magnitude worse than the worst-case interpretations of Vietnam+Nonaligned.
Nuclear disarmament, Non-Aligned countries, decolonization of Africa, ending the Vietnam War, and stopping the red scare witch hunts.

One of these things is not like the others …
Ending the Vietnam War? Although young people in 1969 reported being more likely to sympathize with anti-war demonstrators’ goals, they were generally less likely to call the war a “mistake”, at least between 1965 & 1971.

Decolonization of Africa.
I don’t get it. In what respect is that not like the others?
It wasn’t a good outcome.
