A number of anarchists carried out assassinations and bombings during the period of "propaganda of the deed" from the 1890s to 1914, killing political leaders across Europe and the United States.
Notable anarchist killers from 1890 to 1914 include:
Sante Geronimo Caserio: An Italian baker who assassinated French President Marie François Sadi Carnot in 1894 by stabbing him. Caserio committed the act to avenge other anarchists who had been executed.
Michele Angiolillo: An Italian anarchist who shot and killed Spanish Prime Minister Antonio Cánovas del Castillo in 1897.
Luigi Lucheni: Another Italian anarchist, he assassinated Empress Elisabeth of Austria in 1898 by stabbing her with a sharpened needle file.
Gaetano Bresci: An Italian-American weaver who returned to Italy and assassinated King Umberto I in 1900. Bresci cited the 1898 Bava-Beccaris massacre, where the king had authorized the army to fire on protestors, as his motive.
Leon Czolgosz: A Polish-American anarchist who shot and killed U.S. President William McKinley in 1901 during the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York.
Manuel Pardiñas: A Spanish anarchist who assassinated Spanish Prime Minister José Canalejas in Madrid in 1912. Pardiñas shot himself immediately after the assassination.
Alexandros Schinas: A Greek anarchist who assassinated King George I of Greece in 1913. Schinas was tortured and died in prison, reportedly by jumping from a window.
Galleanists (followers of Luigi Galleani): This Italian insurrectionary anarchist group was responsible for multiple bombings and terrorist acts in the United States. In 1914, they were involved in a bomb plot in New York that killed three anarchists and one civilian.
The context of anarchist assassinations
The violence committed by these individuals was part of a larger anarchist strategy known as "propaganda of the deed." Adherents believed that such acts would inspire mass revolution by exposing the vulnerability of the state and igniting social change.
It did inspire the Russia revolution and the cruel murders of the Czar and his wife and daughters and his son.
The antifa tells the "antifascist" lie to low-information well-meaning liberals who may (rightly) fear they are being led down the path to totalitarian hell. Antifa is opposed to preserving our Republic. Antifa is opposed to laws that protect our lives, our property rights and our freedom of expression. Antifa is anarchy, cruelty and injustice. If you believe their propaganda you will learn the same hard lesson totalitarians have forced upon well-meaning but gullible populations for nearly two centuries. "Don't be fooled" means don't be made a fool.
Propaganda of the deed is being carried out in our time by the so-called "nonexistent" antifa,
I am not an expert on this subject, but I was in SDS when the Weather Underground was started. The leaders of the Weather Underground were originally leaders of SDS, which was a nationally organized movement. It was explicitly Marxist and was focused on utopian ideals regarding the establishment of a democratic form of government following a violent revolution against the existing one. The founding document proposed "participatory democracy" as more desirable than a republic with elected representatives. In its operations, however, SDS chapters did in fact choose representatives to send to meetings of its leaders, like any other organized group.
Andy, hopefully another avenue to detection will ultimately be funding after investigation links them to antifa. One of the important benefits of unmasking will be proving the paths of funding.

most recently the murder of #charliekirk
DON"T BE FOOLED
These are the anarchist figures Antifa look up as examples of how killings can spark revolutions.
Excellent post! Thank you for the detailed and highly relevant history.
Please feel free to use it. Thank you.
Thanks, I will!
Is it not possible to successfully sue Portland for not upholding their obligation to pursue criminals?
Only if the claim is that based on a protected characteristic, assistance was denied.
So those with "protected characteristics" are more equal than those without? Hmm.
Seems to me the Weather Underground was basically the same in the 1960s.
