I guess to be fair I was never really a stickler for any particular method; I’m just a lot more open to a lot of them.

Not a viable long term strategy unfortunately. European anarchist found that out the hard way

which ones did they get rid of?

A lot, but notable political figures are Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Tsar Alexander II, Sadi Carnot (president of France), Antonio Cánovas del Castillo (Spanish prime minister), Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary, King Umberto of Italy, U.S. President William Mckinley (anarchism debated here), King Carlos I of Portugal, Spanish Prime Minister Josè Canalejas, and King George I of Greece. All within roughly 60 years. They also killed plenty of unnamed bourgeois throughout the years.

those are not even from the same country. it's unrelated incidents.

Also, these are all able to be traced back to anarchist movements? This is the first I'm ever hearing that.

Not all, but some.

I wouldn't call any of them a puppet of a string puller who would just install the next, even if we'd say the puppeteer is an elite group. But it's a question of definition where a shadow government ends and a regular political party starts.

That's my point- they're claiming all of them are anarchy motivated, but that's patently false.
