i was there then. I marched against the war. And there were groups who marched against the war who were rooting for the Vietcong. Their slogan back then was "Ho, ho, ho chi minh, the viet cong is gonna win" I think thats where bill ayres was back then. It made it awfully hard for me to march alongside them. One has to remember how different times were back then. American soldiers were reviled by many on the left.

Ayers 1995 says he's a communist (yr Obama picked to chair his grant) Yes, in the same year Ayers picked Obama to chair his big education grant, he called himself a communist: "In an interview published in 1995, Ayers characterized his political beliefs at that time and in the 1960s and 1970s: "I am a radical, Leftist, small 'c' communist ... [Laughs] Maybe I'm the last communist who is willing to admit it. [Laughs] We have always been small 'c' communists in the sense that we were never in the [Communist] party and never Stalinists. The ethics of Communism still appeal to me. I don't like Lenin as much as the early Marx." 1. ^ Chepesiuk, Ron, "Sixties Radicals, Then and Now: Candid Conversations With Those Who Shaped the Era", McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers: Jefferson, North Carolina, 1995, "Chapter 5: Bill Ayers: Radical Educator", p. 102 en.wikipedia.org

Ayers & WU's goals: "Their founding document called for the establishment of a "white fighting force" to be allied with the "Black Liberation Movement" and other "anti-colonial" movements[30] to achieve "the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism."[31] In June 1974, the Weather Underground released a 151-page volume titled Prairie Fire, which stated: "We are a guerrilla organization [...] We are communist women and men underground in the United States [...]"[32] The Weatherman leadership, including Bill Ayers, pushed for a radical reformulation of sexual relations under the slogan "Smash Monogamy".[33][34]" ^ Berger, Dan (2006).
