      And frankly, a wave of Luigis would be actively harmful to the cause of fixing US health care. We had a wave of “propaganda of the deed” anarchist assassins and bombers in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Their “direct action” against members of European royalty discredited their cause in the public eye, and tainted not only them but peaceful anarchist movements beside them.

      And then an anarchist shot the wrong person and started World War I, showing that propaganda of the deed may not be able to make the world better, but it sure as hell can make it worse.
