You don’t think the peaceful protests were backed by the threat of union violence that had been regular up until the New Deal?
The media tried so hard to make people hate Luigi in December and it didn’t work because everyone knows insurance companies murder for profit. Voting hasn’t helped, the media is owned by oligarchs, most social media is too, and if you protest you either get ignored or beaten up by the cops.
It’s not my first choice of action even now, but probably-Luigi killed a guy who was otherwise untouchable and the oligarchs flipped their shit. Abraham Lincoln’s death gimped Reconstruction, MLK’s death hurt the civil rights movement (and spurred nationwide riots causing passage of another civil rights act), Panthers leadership hurt their organization too.
If violence was so effective why did nothing change until the peaceful protest and union negotiations?
It’s almost like getting people to actually engage in political discussions is more effective than hitting everything you don’t like with a club. Who would have thunk it?

It’s almost like you’re not engaging in a political discussion. More like you are a bot programed to demonize Luigi and apologize for the CEOs.
But I think it’s your liberal brain worms rather than code. Either way…
Man read a book on that time period.
Those protests were not peaceful, a member of the business class almost got killed in his office.
And the national guard killed kids, women.
Striking and the threat of more striking is what happened not peaceful protests. And working folks died.
