Luigi Galleani (1861 - 1931)
Mon Aug 12, 1861
Luigi Galleani, born on this day in 1861, was an Italian anarchist active in the United States from 1901 to 1919. He is best known for his enthusiastic advocacy of "propaganda of the deed", the use of violence to eliminate those he viewed as tyrants and oppressors and to act as a catalyst to the overthrow of existing government institutions.
From 1914 to 1932, Galleani's followers in the United States (known as i Galleanisti) carried out a series of bombings and assassination attempts against institutions and persons they viewed as class enemies. After Galleani was deported from the United States to Italy in June 1919, his colleagues are alleged to have carried out the Wall Street bombing of 1920, causing the deaths of 38 people.
"Everything must belong to everybody and must present the hypothesis of a world without god, without king, without government, without masters."

Oh shit! Get down, Martin! The nonviolent gunmen will murder you again to pay themselves what they robed us all of (tax), rape and molest our kids (facts; it's what the military police state does), call you a "dirty animal," and police murder and incarcerate citizens at among the highest rates in the world---all to proclaim the virtues of "nonviolence."
