Whether the government consists of one over the million, or a million over one, an anarchist is opposed to the rule of majorities as well as minorities. -- Albert Parsons
The History of all time teaches us that oppressing classes always maintain their tyranny by force and violence. -- George Engle
HAYMARKET ANARCHISTS MURDERED FOR ADVOCATING REVOLUTION!
I despise you. I despise your order, your laws, your force-propped authority. Hang me for it. -- Louis Lingg
Anarchism does not mean bloodshed;does not mean robbery, arson, etc. These monstrosities are, on the contrary, the characteristic features of capitalism. -- August Spies
Anarchists propose to "crop off the head" of the private-property beast. . . It is more than probable, however, that in the effort to slay this "monster" it will be necessary to"crop off" the heads of a large number of its progeny(capitalists), who will stoutly defend their parent. -- Albert Parsons
The legal right of the capitalist is virtually the assertion that one man has a greater right to life than another man, since it denies the equality of natural constitutions. Our present social system, therefore, is based upon the legalization of robbery, slavery and murder. -- Albert Parsons
With regard to political organization the communistic anarchists demand the abolition of political authority, the state, we deny the right of a class or single individual to govern or rule another class or individual. We hold that, as long as one man is under the dictation of another, as long as one man can in any form subjugate his fellow man, and as long as the means of existence can be monopolized by a certain class or certain individuals, there can be no liberty. -- Adolph Fischer
"HURRAH FOR ANARCHY" last words of Adolph Fischer
"HURRAH FOR ANARCHY" last words of George Engel
As in 1886, Anarchists today still say "NO" to all bosses.
NO TO: Cops Bush Daley War
Courts Prisons etc. etc. etc

it's just excruciating.
here is the definition of 'martyr':
1. One who *chooses* to suffer death rather than renounce religious principles.
2. One who makes great sacrifices or suffers much in order to further a belief, cause, or principle.
do you think these men had a choice? if they had the choice they would have fought to win. they were forcibly killed, against their will.
they did not choose their fate. they would hve chosen to live in freedom.
in fact one of them even took his own life because he could not bear to let the state take it from him.
they were not martyrs. they were victims, as difficult as it is to accept, they were wrongful death victims.
please stop, and stop embarrassing yourself, and their dignity.

but this still works with martyrs so i don't get your argument.
they paid the ultimate sacrifice. Even if they were to fight, they were willing to sacrifice their lives ( i am assuming) for it.
