==History==
The lineage of the Weather Underground goes back 6 decades before its creation. Initially, a group called the [[Intercollegiate Socialist Society]] was founded to "throw light on the world wide movement toward industrial democracy known as socialism". Then in 1921, the ISS changed its name to the [[League for Industrial Democracy]] along with shifting its aim to a larger scope than just the college campus. The League had two student subsidiaries, a ''Student League for Industrial Democracy'' which came into existence in 1932 and only lasting for three years. The SLID was reconstituted again in 1945, and would follow the lead of the initial group's history and rename itself; this time changing from SLID into [[Students for a Democratic Society]].
It is SDS that the Weather Underground directly splinters from.

According to the traditional [[Soviet]] sponsored [[Lenin]]ist model, the [[proletariat]] is the main revolutionary force, and [[national liberation movement]]s become its allies. According to [[Maoist]] inspired Weathermen, however, the revolutionary national movements were proletarian revolutions in their own right against the world imperialist class, and provided the leadership in the worldwide anti-imperialist revolution.<ref>[http://www.archive.org/details/TheWayTheWindBlewAHistoryOfTheWeatherUnderground ''The Way The Wind Blew: A History Of The Weather Underground,''] Ron Jacobs, Verso, 1997, p. 81 ISBN: 1-85984-167-8 </ref>
