''Prarie Fire'' urged its supporters to form an above-ground arm of the WUO. Chapters soon formed in several cities with perhaps a thousand members. Members of PFOC helped facilitate communication and logistics for WUO members living underground.<ref>Harvey Klehr, ''Far Left of Center: The American Radical Left Today'' (Transaction Books, New Brunswick, 1988), 109.</ref> The PFOC also published ''Breakthrough'', a quarterly journal which routinely called for widespread violent resistance to U. S. imperialism, and ran article after article praising third-world [[single party last]] [[Marxist-Leninist]] dictatorships.
