The paper was often controversial ; encouraging propaganda of the deed or direct political action or taking responsibility for a Frankfurt bombing of a police station . Such claims as well as instructions to build explosives published by Most within '' Freiheit '' and in his pamphlet , '' Science of Revolutionary Warfare '' , further contributed to the public 's generalization of anarchists as violent criminals despite a relatively low body count compared to other radical groups such as white nationalists . This rhetoric once again lead to imprisonment , particularly after the paper once again supported assassination after the death of McKinley at the hands of an anarchist in 1901 . When others from their circle failed to step up to maintain '' Freiheit '' in Most 's absence , Minkin stepped in as editor and manager for two years while he was imprisoned . Without Minkin 's contributions and her nurturing of Most 's continued political activity , Most would have let the paper fold and his influence wane
