The Weather Underground Organization was formed to achieve which goal?

The Weather Underground Organization was formed with the goal of engaging in revolutionary violence as a response to the socio-political climate of the United States during the 1960s and 1970s. The group emerged from the Weatherman faction of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), advocating for armed struggle against what they perceived as imperialism and systemic racism in the U.S. After escalating protests against the Vietnam War, members went "underground" to conduct militant actions, including bombings, to achieve their objectives. This method was seen by them as necessary to provoke change and challenge the authority of the government, particularly regarding its foreign and domestic policies.

In understanding the context of other options, the first suggests a counteraction to violence from left-wing groups, which does not align with the Weather Underground's ideology of instigating revolutionary violence. The third option, about forming a political party, misses the group's emphasis on direct action rather than conventional political engagement. Therefore, the correct answer highlights the primary goal of the organization during its most active years.
