Johann Most (5 February 1846, Augsburg, Bavaria – 
17 March 1906, Cincinnati, Ohio) was a 
German-born emigrant to the United States, an 
anarchist and fiery orator, who in the late 19th 
century began to advocate the use of violence to 
achieve revolutionary political and social 
change. He is most well-known for popularizing 
the strategy of "propaganda of the deed," which 
promoted direct action against individuals or 
institutions (including the use of violence) to 
force revolutionary change and inspire further action by others.

Propaganda of the deed (or propaganda by the 
deed, from the French propagande par le fait) is 
a concept of anarchist origin, which appeared 
towards the end of the 19th century, that 
promoted terrorism against political enemies as a 
way of inspiring the masses and catalyzing revolution.
