...with Capitalists. The first squabble inside the gloomy hall, often used as a wrestling arena, quickly showed the weakness of the S.D.S. regulars and the strength of the P.L.P., which had packed the convention with 700 well-drilled supporters. A motion backed by the central headquarters group, the national office, to admit reporters (after payment of $25 and signing of a security pledge) was massively defeated by 90% of the delegates. The defeat was the first of a series of humiliations for National Secretary Michael Klonsky, 26, and Interorganizational Secretary Bernardine Dohrn, 27. The decision after an hour...

Indeed, Harvard's pride--some would call it self-satisfaction--only served to delay recognition of the fact that what was happening here was not a succession of discrete loud knocks at the door but the poundings...
...class bent on exploiting the entire world. The revolutionary students see themselves as representing the true interests of the popular masses who do not as yet have any true understanding of their own class interests. They remain the victims of a "false consciousness" created by the mass media of capitalist monopoly. The first task of students, however, is to radicalize their own fellow students and thus increase the ranks of the vanguard. The use of militant action against the established University authorities serves to discredit that authority and to radicalize the students...
