    Afaik in the US at least the labor wars and especially the crack downs and illegal deportations during WWI and through the 20s did a lot of harm to the Anarchist movement. And after the New Deal white labor basically sold out everyone else and signed on with the Feds and that was pretty much the end of things.

    iirc even other Anarchists realized the Propaganda of the Deed guys in France weren't having a good effect pretty early on.

    Shooting random kings was really funny though.
