"(4) Although SDS ‘supports’ the Black Panther Party
like some sagging (obscene) it fails to recognize that the
Yippies have long had a working alliance with the Black Panther
Party. An alliance which is more apparent on the West Coast
but will become apparent in New York, Chicago, Detroit, and
other areas within the next few nonths.
"(5) SDS persists in describing America and its
class as all powerful Rockefeller, Nixon, Daley, General
Abrams and the like are pictured as unbeatable geniuses. Such
as attitude only reinforces the view that you ‘can't fight city
"(6) SDS in America plays the same role that the
Communist Party plays in France (see Cohn-Bendit's Obsolete
Communism). |
"(7) SDS's analysis of the economic reality of
America has failed totally to comprehend a society built on
abundance. The Program for the future is simply everything
FREE, It ia the same goal as that of the Cuban Revolution.
"(8) The basic SDS left strategy of speaking to the
liberals in an attempt to radicalize them might not be the best
strategy. It might be necessary to reach across the political
barrier to the far right and begin to recognize that they have
@ similar gut reaction to the evils of the federal government
and the system it represents. ‘
"A yippie is a member of the working class. It's
just that we are on permanent strike. Partly because we find
it impossible to do meaningful work in this system and partly
because we recognize that the technological advances have rendered
most jobs obsolete.
“Lester is right in calling SDS a racist group.
"Why does SDS persist in attacking our use of drugs,
music, underground newspapers and underground art? Why do they
not blast out at the treatment of hippies in this country?
