Socialist Hairstyles

Since when did long hair become symbolic of a non-Socialist regime? As far as I know, hippies, with their long hair, preached a sort of free, anti-capitalist, pro-commune (umm...socialist in theory) lifestyle? Long hair has long been the symbol of anti-capitalist sentiments....until now.

I found this article online:

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea's communist government is waging war against men with long hair, calling them unhygienic anti-socialist fools, and even leader Kim Jong Il has trimmed his famous bouffant locks.
