*In 1969 SDS began imploding into factions. One of them, a group calling itself Weatherman, was elected to SDS leadership and proclaimed that the time had come to launch a race war on behalf of the Third World and against the United States. The new entity dissolved SDS and formed a terrorist cult in its place, which was given the name [[Weather Underground]]. [http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6723]

==Soviet/CPUSA influence==
SDS was an important subject within the Soviet directed and funded [[Communist Party USA]] (CPUSA) in early 1968. The CPUSA decided to fight for Moscow directed ideology within SDS; to include articles on SDS in its publications; and to begin to put many more CP youth (cadre) directly into SDS and into the SDS national office in order to get direct access to the SDS leadership. The need and possibility for greater CPUSA participation in SDS, and the possibilities for CPUSA recruitment from SDS, were emphasized. [[Rennie Davis]] at this time associated with Don Hamerquist of the CPUSA National Committee who was working with [[New Left]] organizations to formulate a program for a communist movement in the U.S.
