No, I meant this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Blair_Mountain
I agree tho. In general the US is rather good at keeping down any kind of protests that pose an existential threat or undermines it's major goals.
Or something else? I guess that's the closest thing that would qualify.
But compared to the anti-government protests that have probably happened in half the countries in the world during the same time period, it's peanuts.
Example from Romania: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017%E2%80%932019_Romanian_pro...
Half a million people protesting out of ~18 million or so. For reference, that would mean 10 million people protesting at the same time in the US. I wonder if even the civil rights movement during the 60's ever got that many people out on the streets at the exact same time.
