The main point of contention centered on the role of black Americans in the revolutionary processes in the United States. Many held the view that a Vietnam style war within the United States between the black "colony" and the white imperialist super-structure was inevitable.  Many were fond of quoting Chaiman 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.

Bernardine Dohrn noted 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 was far from over.  Both factions were committed to a socialist revolution through armed struggle, thier differences centered non strategy and tactics.

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 withourt 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 thier role as supportive of the black liberation struggle and one which involved direct confrontation with the authority of the capitalist state.
