Consider the scene in the film in which, shortly after taking over S.D.S., they planned a riot of students in Chicago in which they would run down the street, destroying business property. They claimed at the time that over one thousand students would show up to partake. About one hundred actually showed up. That should have been their first clue that despite strong rhetoric, when the rubber hits the road, most students were not willing to put life and limb in jeopardy. They then somehow believed that if they upped the ante, those same people who would not break some windows would hop on board and partake in an armed revolution which was necessary to topple the government? Seems pretty naive to me. At the time.
