1974: The Weather Underground published their manifesto, "Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism." Prairie Fire urged people to never "dissociate mass struggle from revolutionary violence".
More 1974: The name for WU's manifesto came from a Mao quote, "a single spark can set a prairie fire."
Key authors of "Prairie Fire," Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, would later adopt @chesaboudin after his biological parents were imprisoned for the Brinks robbery/murders.
WU still refused to renounce revolutionary violence for "to leave people unprepared to fight the state is to seriously mislead them about the inevitable nature of what lies ahead"
So was @chesaboudin worried about Wed's "coup", or that it was being done by the wrong side?
