Albert Parsons was an anarchist.
I'm tired of the motherfuckers who have spent years trying to remove the anarchism from the Haymarket martyrs. The worst offenders are the Illinois Labor History Society and commie publications like the Socialist Worker. People should at least get their facts straight and stop this red-washing of anarchist history.
