The Symbionese Liberation Army began in the fall of 1973 when no more than a dozen white, college-educated children of middle-class families adopted a seven-headed snake as their symbol, a black ex-convict as their leader, and the phrase, 'Death to the fascist insect that preys upon the life of the people'' as their slogan. The violent group derived its name from the word 'symbiosis,'' a biological term referring to unlike organisms coexisting harmoniously for mutual benefit. www.rickross.com/reference/symbionese/symbionese17.html
