There were no surviving SDSes after the two post-split groups ended. PL's goal was to take over SDS by out-organizing the national leadership. They succeeded, but most everyone opposed to PL left with the national leadership's two factions, Weatherman & RYM II, including the Independent Socialist Clubs and the unaffiliated Madison chapter. PL was rabid with sectarianism, and couldn't keep their SDS afloat. Weatherman was flat-out nuts, convinced that they had to break up the mass membership SDS so they could take the struggle to a 'higher level.'
