Affiliation With Weatherman
Chip Marshall was one of the leading members of the Seattle Liberation Front after the split within the SDS in 1969. In an interview with Time magazine in 1980, Marshall commented on the takeover of the SDS by the Weatherman, a radical left faction. He said the Weatherman had established cultural standards to which members were to adhere. Marshall did not agree with destroying monogamy, cutting family ties, and devaluing personal relationships. The relationship between the Weatherman and the Seattle Liberation Front remains somewhat ambiguous. Both groups shared many of the same political viewpoints, where they participated in protests and demonstrations. Marshall's comments depict the void that separated the two groups from working together based on their common viewpoints.

Famous quotes containing the word affiliation:
“Women will not advance except by joining together in cooperative action.... Unlike other groups, women do not need to set affiliation and strength in opposition one against the other. We can readily integrate the two, search for more and better ways to use affiliation to enhance strength—and strength to enhance affiliation.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
