Eastwood is NOT a Hipster from the past.

But these two were.

You could say that both were proto Hipsters.

Hitler: The Early Years:
-- Artistic pretensions
-- Parentally funded
-- Dilettante lifestyle

Though Hitler often characterized his early years as that of grinding poverty, nothing could be further from the truth. His mother, the widow of a senior customs official, had a generous pension which enabled her to indulge young Adolf's artistic pretensions... er, I mean ambitions. After her death he drew upon equally generous orphan's benefits that gave him an income equivalent to that of a schoolteacher at the time. He also sponged off his aunt to finance his bohemian lifestyle in Linz and Vienna.

Karl Marx:
-- Lived in London from 1849 until his death in 1883. Except for occasional work as a journalist where he was paid by the piece*. he was, for the most part, financially supported by his collaborator Friedrich Engels who came from a wealthy family. In fact to support Marx, Engels had to go to work for the family firm while Marx spent much of his time hanging out in the Reading Room of the British Museum. Wanted by the authorities in Prussia, an intelligence report on him from 1852 paints this picture:

"In the whole apartment there is not one clean and solid piece of furniture. Everything is broken. There is a chair with only three legs. In private life he is an extremely disorderly cynical human being, and a bad host. He leads a real gypsy existence. Washing, grooming and changing his linen are things he does rarely. He has no fixed times for going to sleep and waking up. He often stays up all night, and then lies down fully clothed on the sofa at midday and sleeps till evening."

*many of which were actually ghostwritten by Engels

My favourite Marx story is how he calculated that by swapping to a cheaper brand of cigars, and then smoking a lot more of them, he could save money. He pursued this intractable logic until his doctor to persuaded him that he was in danger of killing himself. Sounds like a political parable doesn't it?
