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 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.

The Dohrn/Ayers group called for a program of confrontation and action by white students in the style of [[Castro]]ite guerillas in a supportive role to black revolution without regard to the white working class. Ayers and Dohrn felt armed struggle of blacks for self-determination would result in the victory of [[socialism]] in the United States without any reliance on white workers. They saw their role as supportive of the black liberation struggle and one which involved direct confrontation with the authority of the capitalist state.

After the election of officers, Bernardine Dohrn declared that the National Office of the SDS was responsible for development of a correct Marxist–Leninist line and called for "the future exclusion of [[deviationist]] forces such as the Progressive Labor Party (PLP) and the [[CPUSA]] from the SDS." The debate within SDS leadership between the Klonsky and Dohrn factions, however, was far from over.  Both factions were committed to a socialist revolution through armed struggle, their differences centered on strategy and tactics.

BLM's own writings make clear the black lives of "upper class" blacks don't matter in this Marxist revolutionary movement aimed at destroying imperialism. Nor is this revolution limited to the "black lives" of "working class" citizens, but includes "middle class Black progressives", "some sections of the criminal class", "the immigration movement, and the women’s and queer movements."
