La Salute è in voi! was an early 1900s bomb-making handbook associated with the Galleanisti, followers of anarchist Luigi Galleani, particularly in the United States. Translated as "Health/Salvation Is within You!", its anonymous authors advocated for impoverished workers to overcome their despair and commit to individual, revolutionary acts. The Italian-language handbook took technical content already accessible in encyclopedias, applied chemistry books, and industrial sources and wrapped it in a political manifesto and plain directions for non-technical amateurs to build explosives. American police and historians would use the handbook to profile anarchists and imply guilt by possession. It figured prominently in the prosecution of the Bresci Circle, a case that revolved around the anarchists' right to read. Ultimately, perpetrators of successful political bombings from this era had career backgrounds in explosives and were not self-taught amateurs.

 * Weak support: appropriate, but I personally think a event or something like that would be more appropriate for this day, or maybe the Free Association of German Trade Unions would be good too. -- ときさき  くるみ not because they are easy, but because they are hard 09:48, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
