>>2501951This is so inaccurate as to practically be reactionary propaganda. The idea that a few college kids getting massacred after throwing rocks was the "peak of left-wing militancy" would just be a straight up lie if you knew even rudimentary American labor history.
There were multiple organized battles between union workers and hired goons, cops, pinkertons, the national guard, etc. in the late 1800s to early 1900s. Even in 2020 there was a more militant anti-cop movement than the fucking kids who got murdered at Kent State, and through the 1970s themselves there were multiple more militant actions. If you set Kent State as the standard, then the """peak""" could have happened within the past year.
