I did not make that original comment, did I? Maybe you interpreted it as a call for violence, but my interpretation was using hyperbole to make a point. Though I would not have made it that way.
I named several holidays that exist to commemorate various worker's rights movements (all of which have bloody histories). I'm not going to do the work for you and explain every single one of them, but you can easily go to the wiki pages and learn a ton of shit about it.
It is not the job of internet strangers to educate people. But if someone who wasn't aware of the history of Labor Day decides to check out the wiki because I mentioned it in a comment, then that's a win in my book.
As you can see, I responded to that comment. You seem to have at least some acknowledgement that maybe it wasn't quite what you were going for and must therefore have been hyperbole. I took a more pessimistic view.
But yes, I'm aware some movements have violent elements to them. The ones we remember with reverence have other elements to them as well.
