Plus having done a lot less overall is a layer of protection, and related elevation in a left anti-communist sort of way. You can't really make a "black book of anarchism", so to speak, and the most infamous incidents were a number of bombings and assassinations that people weren't necessarily fully on board with anyways (like the assassination of McKinley where the guy met with Emma Goldman and was like "I'm gonna do this" and she was like "please don't do this, this isn't a great idea and won't really help the cause" and he did it anyways and she was arrested in relation to it).
