:ROUSE: Well, are saying to me that life in [[Cuba]], and life in Russia and li8fe in North Vietnam or any other commu nist country is better than life in the U.S.
:RUDD: Well, first of all, I think that it is true that life in Cuba for the Cuban people a lot better off in a lot of ways than life in the U.S., even though they have tremendous economic problems for a tiny country. Russia I am not going to defend, because I don't think Russia is a communist country...The U.S. very much wants to build a ring of satellites around China in order to hold in and hold back social revolution...communism is a system that benefits the people of the world and will eventually benefit the Americans....I am part of a faction that is somewhat Maoist...we believe that the third world revolution is happening, that the black struggle is happening, it is starting now...<ref>Foreign Influence - Weather Underground Organization (WUO).
