Michael Klonsky

They invaded SDS, not with the intention of fulfilling SDS stated goals, but of taking it over and changing it into something very different, their version of Maoism.

And that I think, propelled some of the people like Bernardine, Bill Ayers, and other people, and Mike Klonsky, who formed a different faction, but also a revolutionary Marxist-defined faction.

They wanted to compete with progressive labor and defeat it by becoming more communist than they were, by proving that the PL faction was really not where it's at.

We are the really true revolutionaries.

More communist, yes.

More communist, or at least just as, or something, right? And I don't know to what extent that's true or whatever.

And they're all different people and had different backgrounds and... different political perspectives coming into it because there's also like mike klonsky's line that you know he came in from the old left never thought there should needed to be a new left and was just like it was all continuity from his politics as a baby or something sometimes yeah

well that's why i really i really was angry at him in particular at that time But I'll get back to this point, but I'll just preview it.

And I argue they were done in by infiltrators, and they sadly got Bernie and Dorn tripping too much, and she kind of led.

She was one of the leaders of SDS, a brilliant lawyer who was in SDS when she was in law school and leading SDS with Mike Klonsky.

And Mike Klonsky tried to get her not to – lead half the uh sds members out of the uh last convention but she did um and um you know that did in sds but this is some of the ways they accomplished what they accomplished but through the musicians is some of the ways that they promoted the drugs but they pretended like jimi hendrix you know before he died for example was really into acid and really into these other drugs but he said it um He heard his guitar playing, and he became very political after Martin Luther King was assassinated and tried to hold a memorial for King.

And his British MI6 manager dosed his drink before he went out there, and he said he didn't like the way it affected his playing, and he stopped it short.

So that's some of the things that came up.
