    The abolition of Slavery

    The workers rights movement <— Those guys are the reason we have any weekends at all

    The violent overthrow of monarchs by liberals

    The only reason we have it so good in terms of life quality is because our ancestors put their lives on the line for our rights

      There is more slavery now than at anytime in history. Try again. Violence didn’t solve it.

      Most of the violence happened against the workers. Try re-reading history. It was ultimately the wealthy deciding to play along not worker violence forcing them to. Violence didn’t solve it.

      You are seriously saying the terrorists that went on to commit genocide and spread fascism around the world were the good guys!? Violence didn’t solve it, it created it.

      Keep reaching.
