/* Black Liberation Movement */
At the [[Students for a Democratic Society]] National Convention held in Chicago on June 18–22, 1969 adhered to the general over-all line of the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP) and the Chinese world view that attributed the source of global conflict from tension between the [[colonialism|colonial]] and former colonial peoples of [[Asia]], [[Africa]], and [[Latin America]] on the one hand, and the forces of [[imperialism]] led by the [[United States]] on the other. The unfolding of the conflict between the [[national liberation movement]] of the [[Viet Cong]] and "forces of United States imperialism" and its "puppet regime in [[Saigon]]" would provide an example for peoples of the [[Third World]] to unite in the defeat of US imperialism and the establishment of a "world socialist order."<ref>Foreign Influence - Weather Underground Organization (WUO).

The main point of contention centered on the role of the [[Black Panther Party]] (BPP) in the [[revolution]]ary revolutionary process in the United States. Many held the view that a [[Vietnam war|Vietnam style war]] with the Black Panthers assuming the role similar to the [[Viet Cong]] as the [[Revolutionary Vanguard|vanguard]] Marxist armed national liberation movement within the United States against "the white imperialist super-structure."<ref>https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/workers/black-panthers/</ref> Many were fond of quoting [[Chairman Mao]] who wrote, "In the final analysis a national struggle is a [[class struggle]]." There was a great deal of competition among the warring factions to portray themselves as the main purveyors of [[Mao Zedong Thought]] in the United States revolutionary movement.
The Progressive Labor Party {PLP) was pushing as a strategy the Worker Student Alliance (WSA) which postulated that students should unite with the traditional Marxist revolutionary power in the U.S., 'the workers,' to make revolution. The [[Bill Ayers]]/[[Bernardine Dohrn]] faction and Revolutionary Youth Movement II (RYM II), according to [[Mark Rudd]], considered the fixation on 'the workers' as "racist in that the the PLP didn't want to see non-white people as the revolutionary agents." The Black Panthers demanded that SDS expel the PLP "for its racism in not supporting national liberation."<ref>[http://www.markrudd.com/?sds-and-weather/the-death-of-sds.html ''The Death of SDS,''] Mark Rudd.
