Weatherman, also known as the Weather Underground Organization and, colloquially, sometimes 'the Weathermen', were a U.S. radical leftist organization consisting of splintered-off members and leaders of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). Its members referred to themselves as a "revolutionary organization of communist women and men," and carried out guerilla actions, often characterized as terrorist, to achieve the revolutionary overthrow of the government of the United States. The group collapsed shortly after the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam in 1975, which saw the general demise of the New Left, of which Weatherman had been a part.

Background

The group initially emerged from the campus-based anti-war and anti-racism ("civil rights") movements during US military action in Southeast Asia, which continued despite the significance of the nation's growing desire to end the war, particularly upon the outcome of the 1968 US presidential election. Weatherman's organizers had concluded that the campus-based anti-war demonstrations needed to be supplemented with more dramatic, violent statements that would have the possibility of actually interfering with the country's war and internal security apparatuses. Such actions, they contended, would help to start the revolution.

Originally, Weatherman was part of the Revolutionary Youth Movement within the Students for a Democratic Society. When they split - first from the RYM's Maoists, and then from SDS itself - Weatherman distinguished itself from other self-proclaimed revolutionary groups by claiming that there was no time to build a vanguard party and that revolutionary war against the United States government and the system of capitalism should begin immediately. To that end, Weatherman carried out a campaign of bombings, jailbreaks, and riots.

The name of the group derives from the Bob Dylan song "Subterranean Homesick Blues", which featured the lyrics "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." The lyrics had also been quoted at the bottom of an influential essay in the SDS newspaper, New Left Notes. Using this title, Weatherman meant to appeal to the segment of American youth inspired to action for social justice by Dylan's songs. They also believed that with the growing success of the Vietnamese revolt against foreign rule, the Cultural Revolution in China, the 1968 student revolts in Europe, Mexico City and other places, the emergence of the Tupamaros organization in Uruguay, and the succcess of Marxist-led independence movements throughout Africa, any reasonable person could see that worldwide revolution was imminent. It appears also that the 'Weatherman' moniker was meant as a rebuke against the Progressive Labor Party, whose Worker Student Alliance (WSA) SDS faction had succeeded in recruiting many SDSers to its ranks, and had allegedly co-opted the 1969 Chicago SDS convention.

The Weathermen were outspoken advocates of concepts that later came to be known as "white privilege" and identity politics.

They must either fight on the side of the oppressed, or be on the side of the oppressor."

The opening salvo in the "Days of Rage," Weatherman's first event, came on the night of October 8 1969, when they blew up a statue dedicated to police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket Riot. Although the October 8 rally failed to draw as many participants as they had anticipated, the estimated two to three hundred who did attend shocked police by leading a riot through the Gold Coast neighborhood, smashing windows and cars.

In 1970, following the police raid that resulted in the death of Black Panther Fred Hampton, the group issued a "Declaration of a state of War" against the United States government, using for the first time its new name, the "Weather Underground Organization" (WUO), adopting fake identities, and pursuing covert activities only. These initially included preparations for a bombing of a US military noncommissioned officers' dance at Fort Dix in what Brian Flanagan said had been intended to be "the most horrific hit that the United States government had ever suffered on its territory" [1], but three WU members died in an accidental explosion in a Greenwich Village safe house while preparing the bomb intended for that action. An accident of history was that this was the former residence of Merrill-Lynch brokerage firm founder Charles Merrill and his son, the poet James Merrill. The younger Merrill subsequently recorded the event in his poem 18 West 11th Street, the title being the address of the house.

After the Greenwich Village incident, the group released a number of manifestos and declarations while beginning a series of bombings, which were from then on both successful and free of any human casualties. The bombing actions attacked the U.S. Capitol, The Pentagon, police and prison buildings, and the rebuilt Haymarket statue again, among other targets.

The group also took a $25,000 payment from a psychedelics distribution organization called The Brotherhood of Eternal Love to break LSD advocate Timothy Leary out of prison, transporting him to Algeria. When Leary was eventually captured by the FBI, he offered to serve as an informant to capture the Weather Underground members to reduce his prison sentence. The Weather Underground members, though, remained largely successful at avoiding the police and the FBI, until finally most turned themselves in at the end of the 1970s, once it was clear the revolution they had all been working towards had failed to materialize.

Known members of the Weather Underground include Kathy Boudin, Mark Rudd, Terry Robbins, Ted Gold, Naomi Jaffe, Cathy Wilkerson, Jeff Jones, David Gilbert, Susan Stern, and the still-married couple Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers. Many former Weathermen have re-integrated into society, without necessarily repudiating their original intent. Bill Ayers is now a Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, and said in a September 11, 2001 New York Times profile: "I don't regret setting bombs [against non-human targets]. I believe we didn't do enough." Dohrn and Boudin also still hold to their original beliefs. Other members like Brian Flanagan have expressed regret. Still others, such as Rudd, believe the group's original motivation, particularly its position regarding U.S. imperialism, was justified, but its resultant actions were clearly wrong.
