workingclasshistory:

On this day, 11 February 1918 in Copenhagen, armed unemployed workers attacked the Danish stock exchange demanding unemployment benefits. Two meetings for the unemployed were held earlier in the day, and syndicalist speakers called on the assembled poor to use direct action. The crowds armed themselves with clubs and guns and stormed the most powerful symbol of the capitalist class in the city. Later, 40,000 demonstrated in protest at arrests of syndicalists in the wake of the action. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1918630878322053/?type=3
