Several historians discuss the impact of the Haymarket bombing.

"Haymarket left a lasting stigma on radical movements. Ever since, the public has imagined anarchists as bomb-throwing fiends. Tensions were already running high between wealthy business owners and poor workers in Chicago, but Haymarket made them even worse. Historians say it set back the labor movement for decades."

I don't know what direct democracy is, but it sounds tedious.

Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest, eight hours for what we will!

Those silly utopian socialists.
