Revolutionary Fissures, Partnerships, and Violence, Part 1
摘要
By 1969, SDS was torn apart not only by mounting radicalization but also by deep ideological and factional struggles. At the national convention, the Weatherman faction clashed with the Progressive Labor Party (PLP) wing over competing revolutionary visions, from international solidarity and guerrilla warfare to labor-oriented strategies rooted in Marxist orthodoxy. These disputes fractured the organization and reshaped the student movement. At the same time, the FBI remained preoccupied with ongoing foreign connections—particularly with Cuba, North Vietnam, and China—which it believed were fueling the factions’ increasingly militant agendas.
