[LAF] 19th Century Bombs

[steve ash]

That 19th century bombs article was terrible. Quite
unhistorical in that it failed to point out that while
anarchists were often blamed for the bombs, most were
actually planted by the Nationalist groups like the
Black Hand (who started WWI when they assassinated
Archduke Ferdinand). The only anarchist I've heard of
who promoted terrorism as a means to an end was Johann
Most, who was one of those Marxist Anarchist hybrids
into class struggle, who tended to terrorise the
bourgeosie in various ways. The other anarchist bombs
that seem historically verifiable seem one off attack
on specific targets like a restaurant whose owner was
a police informer etc etc or some grudge held by a
'nuttier' member of the anarchist movement.

But worse than this is the authors confusion between
real acccounts and fictional accounts.
