After which political shift did Spock become an activist in the New Left and anti-Vietnam War movements?
"Conversion to socialism"

"Conversion to libertarianism"
Answer
Spock's political transformation was sparked by his conversion to socialism.

This shift led him to become an outspoken critic of the government and a prominent figure in the countercultural movements of the 1960s.
