Why not try to understand their point of view, rather than dismiss it out of hand?
Forrest you can find transcriptions and digital copies of their literature online (e.g. Prairie Fire). Read it for yourself. It’s not as though their ideas have been censored or misrepresented. The WU wanted to initiate a war against the US government, impose a socialist dictatorship, and purge society of their perceived enemies – they were very candid about their ambitions. Ayers advocated slaughter and mayhem for their own sake.
* you know, just because you’re not familiar with their history, it doesn’t mean that no one else is either.
