Weatherman, known colloquially as the Weathermen and later the Weather Underground Organization (abbreviated WUO), was an American radical left organization. It originated in 1969 as a faction of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) composed for the most part of the national office leadership of SDS and their supporters. Their goal was to create a clandestine revolutionary party for the violent overthrow of the US government and the establishment of a dictatorship of the proletariat.
With leadership whose revolutionary positions were characterized by Black separatist rhetoric, the group conducted a campaign of bombings through the mid-1970s, including aiding the jailbreak and escape of Timothy Leary. The "Days of Rage", their first public demonstration on October 8, 1969, was a riot in Chicago timed to coincide with the trial of the Chicago Seven. In 1970 the group issued a "Declaration of a State of War" against the United States government, under the name "Weather Underground Organization" (WUO). The bombing attacks mostly targeted government buildings, along with several banks. Most were preceded by evacuation warnings, along with communiqués identifying the particular matter that the attack was intended to protest. For the bombing of the United States Capitol on March 1, 1971, they issued a communiqué saying it was "in protest of the US invasion of Laos." For the bombing of the Pentagon on May 19, 1972, they stated it was "in retaliation for the US bombing raid in Hanoi." For the January 29, 1975 bombing of the United States Department of State Building, they stated it was "in response to escalation in Vietnam."
The Weathermen largely disintegrated after the United States reached a peace accord in Vietnam in 1973, which saw the general decline of the New Left.
Bernardine Rae Dohrn (née Ohrnstein, born January 12, 1942) is an American former leader of the anti-Vietnam War radical organization Weather Underground. She is an Associate Professor of Law at Northwestern University School of Law and the immediate past Director of Northwestern's Children and Family Justice Center. She is married to Bill Ayers, a co-founder of the Weather Underground.
A founder of the Weatherman group, Dohrn was a member of the "Weather Bureau" (name later changed to "Central Committee"). Larry Grathwohl, an FBI informant who was with the Weatherman from autumn 1969 through spring 1970, considered her one of the two top leaders of the organization, along with Bill Ayers.
William Charles "Bill" Ayers (born December 26, 1944) is an American elementary education theorist and a former leader in the movement that opposed U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. He is known for his 1960s activism as well as his current work in education reform, curriculum, and instruction. In 1969 he co-founded the Weather Underground, a self-described communist revolutionary group that conducted a campaign of bombing public buildings during the 1960s and 1970s, motivated by U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. He is a retired professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, formerly holding the titles of Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar. During the 2008 Presidential campaign, a controversy arose over his contacts with candidate Barack Obama. He is married to Bernardine Dohrn, who was a leader in the Weather organization.
The Venceremos Brigade is a U.S. political organization founded in 1969. It was formed as a coalition of young people attempting to show solidarity with the Cuban Revolution by working side by side with Cuban workers, challenging U.S. policies towards Cuba, including the United States embargo against Cuba, and the breaking U.S. government's restrictions on travel to the island. The yearly brigade trips, which as of 2010 have brought more than 9,000 people to Cuba, continue today and are coordinated with the Pastors For Peace Friendship Caravans to Cuba.
Michelle Duclos is a resident of Quebec, Canada and a supporter of the Quebec sovereignty movement. While employed as a performer on CFTM-TV in 1965, and a member of the Rassemblement pour l'Indépendance Nationale, she became involved in a plot to bomb the Statue of Liberty in collusion with the Black Liberation Front, a militant Black Power group based in Harlem.

@ChaosDynamics ssuuurrree seems like it to me. I think by now (2011) "The Left" has bee totally over run by those ideologies. Maybe not all the way 50 years ago, but its a done deal in todays world, "The Left" has been 100% subverted by those factions.

@roadkill439342 O'Grady and Brown were killed by the BLA and yes there were former Weathermen involved, who had joined the BLA. But, that was the BLA. No one knows who killed McDonell, no one was ever charged or convicted. That happened allegedly in retaliation for Fred Hampton being assassinated by Chicago Police(which of course, he was). Seems more likely the Black Panthers would have done that. But, who knows? We'll never know, because the FBI broke so many laws in going after the Weathermen

@JosephCa64 Actually Joseph; you are WRONG. The Weatherunderground was directly responsible for the MURDERS of several cops.\
Brian McDonnell, Waverley Brown and Edward O'Grady.
PLUS there are the several murdered by close Associate Assata Shakur and the BLA (Black Liberation Army)

Shakespeare probably understood communists and their rhetoric. "Life is a tale told by a fool, full of sound and fury signifying nothing." They may sound convincing but not once as any communist system proven itself to work. Even China is trying to take on the aspects of a capitalist society only without the democratic safeguards that might keep it from getting repressive. Democracy can't exist in a communist state.
