Today in Labor History October 8, 1969: SDS Weathermen launched "Days of Rage" in Chicago, as a protest against the Vietnam War and the uselessness of national elections. One of their slogans was: "The Elections Don't Mean Shit—Vote Where the Power Is—Our Power Is In The Street". During the protests, a few hundred activists attacked over 1,000 cops and local businesses. Six unarmed activists were shot. Over 60 were arrested. They blew up a statue commemorating the police involved in the 1886 Haymarket tragedy bombing, which resulted in the execution of innocent anarchists. The statue was replaced and blown up again in 1970.

The Weathermen - Poison!

Not sure if this is classified as EBM (Electronic Body Music).
The available info on this band is very little and sometimes contradictory. They seem to be of Belgian origin, but not sure. This tune was released in 1987, i had this on vinyl. "You can call me poison".
