    The funniest thing about Luigi Mangione is that by suppressing him as much as they did, they made it super easy for people to mythologize and project their own beliefs onto him. I feel like if they just let him talk, he would say some stupid shit that would piss people off within days.

      Had an incredibly rich grandfather iirc, and some chuddy beliefs(?) from my memory?

      Yeah, he would've definitely made a lot of people angry

        In the first sentence of the luigi manifesto, he said that he loves cops.

        I think the most obvious motive of the Luigi case is that he was 26 years old. Obamacare requires his parent's health insurance cover him until he turned 26. This means he was likely recently kicked off of his parent's health insurance plan. It has been reported that Luigi suffers from back pain from a spinal injury.

        I still remember introducing my current partner to the joy of eating pretzels with mustard by taking a bunch of mustard packets from the gas station and putting them on one of those big soft pretzels they sell sometimes

        Saved us the five bucks that day

    No fire suppression system in a paper warehouse? False flag. Or the business did it for the insurance money.

      No because it's (probably) not a communist person/party doing it. Adventurism would be a party acting too far ahead of or without support from the masses. This is someone from the masses acting as an individual.

      Unideological events like this, and the public reaction to them, can be analyzed by communist parties to gauge the potential of the masses.

      If anything, this suggests communist parties in the West are tailing the masses. Which is to be expected given the extreme suppression and complex contradictions enabled by global imperialism.

      It 100% is.

      Still cool as fuck though and I look forwards to seeing more and more of it happen. We have no control over it and no ability to stop it. All we can do is recognise that the occurrence of this stuff increasing over time is an indicator of things tilting more and more our way. More and more people will be moved towards individual action as things worsen. It is disorganised revolutionary energy finding its way out.

        Then it should not be cheered for. It just shows the absolute decay of the movement (in the imperial core): that there is no mass workers party to turn that potential into something organised that is relevant on a systemic scale

          I disagree. The movement itself causes this to happen. It is the success of the movement that causes these leaks of excess to occur. It is impossible for the movement to harness and organise everything, everywhere. The movement is creating the revolutionary energy with the spread of education and class consciousness while simultaneously organising it, but some of it spreads faster than it can be organised and you get this.

          I am completely neutral to it. I would rather these people were found and organised before this happened, but I see it as a good indicator that things are trending in the direction we want them to trend. If the revolution is a coming thunderstorm then these are small rains as the weather slowly worsens.

          Okay, but then was the lack of violence before supposed to show that the movement was robust and organized? Obviously not. The only reason there weren't outbursts before is because the movement was dead; nothing left on the bones to decay.

          These are the first signs of life of a movement that has been dead for decades in the imperial core.

          There cannot be a mass workers' party if the mass of workers do not want a party, and it's unreasonable to expect such an organization to simply appear and get everyone in line instantly as soon as revolutionary sentiment emerges. This is an unproductive expenditure of energy compared to organized action by a vanguard party, yes, but framing it as a failing of the movement as a whole is unhelpful. This isn't a sign of the "absolute decay of the movement", it's a sign that people are beginning to recognize that the change they want will not be achieved under the current system.

    Don't lionize this guy though, I hear he made a post on Facebook four years ago where he used the r-word. And you can't complain about not being allowed to lionize him, that's metaposting which is bad. Yes I am still salty. Make a Luigi emoji that's titled :lion:
