You Say You Want A Revoloution?

[Robin Landseadel]

An article from Howard Machtinger from "In these Times" concerned with  
violence within the Weather Underground:

		As a former member of the Weather Underground, I feel
	compelled to add my voice to the recently re-heated discussion
	 of the group’s legacy.

		I co-wrote and signed the original document that
	announced the formation of a radical tendency at the Students
	for a Democratic Society (SDS) National Convention in the
	summer of 1969. We became known as the Weathermen,
	drawing the title of our position paper from the Dylan lyric “You
	don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows,”
	and transformed ourselves into the Weather Underground (WU)
	over the course of the next year. Because of my involvement
	with the WU, I became a fugitive in 1970; by 1978 I turned
	myself in to government authorities.

		I write now to paint a more accurate picture of the past for
	new activists as they face decisions about future direction –
	especially in moments of inevitable frustration . . .
