The Weather Underground
Posted on March 23rd, 2010 by admin
In 1969, a small group of college students announced their intentions to overthrow the U.S. government in opposition to the Vietnam War. This documentary explores the rise and fall of this radical movement as former
members speak candidly about the passion that drove them at the time. The film also explores the group in the context of other social movements of the time, featuring interviews with former members of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Black Panther Party. The documentary also examines the U.S. government’s suppression of dissent during this turbulent era. Using archival footage from the 1960s and 1970s, the film also intersperses recent interviews with high profile ex-Weathermen like Bernardine Dohrn, David Gilbert, Bill Ayers, Mark Rudd and Brian Flanagan, who talk about their involvement in the organization, their experiences, and the trajectory that led them to be placed on the FBI’s Most Wanted list.

“The most violent …
“The most violent society that history’s ever created”
Not to downplay the violence of the 50’s, 60’s amd 70’s but its ridiculous to make such a claim. I can think of several other far more violent societies

There is something to be said about having solidarity with other people. Its a great feeling when you join forces with a bunch of other people and share in a conflict of sorts. Ive recently made some really good friends that way. One of the problems with our country is that its very polarized. There isnt enough unity!

Regardless, change is needed. Healthcare, education, and the economy are three areas that need change desperately!

Tawpdawg, you can’t even spell Billy Ayers name or terrorist. The only terrorist in the US in 69 was the government killing thousands every month in SE Asia. Go back to school.

socialism is a good idea, but it doesnt work. you seem to forget that people (including yourself) are morons, and incapable of overcoming social political or racial differences to work together. it just isnt going to happen.

at least they were doing something, no one cares about anything anymore. i think its admirable that people cared enough about their government to go the next step beyond voting, even though i dont neccissarily agree with their methods. european leaders are scared of their people, because if they up the people riot, we only riot when our favorite team wins a playoff.

The WUO were the only radical group the FBI could not get to, even with their thug tactics with COINTELPRO. WUO were the true heros of the left and still are. There are no new heros today except the ALF, and ELF.

isolation and marginalization awaits all those comrades who may chose to turn away from the mass movement and from the class struggle. there is no short cut to a socialist society. we need of an organized mass proletarian movement instead. revolutionaries must work within mass movements. They should try to win workers to socialist ideas, to the revolutionary program. there is no substitute for the working class, no real substitute for the masses, no matter how determined you may have been.
