User statement on the demonization of Luigi Mangione
Removed by modno idea why he's being demonized by the mod team as "just a fascist" when he's objectively done one of the coolest things in recent memory for reasons that almost every American resonates with
he's a fascist, sure, but it's cool as hell he killed that CEO and I'm not going to pretend that it wasn't cool
is he a revolutionary hero and communist icon for it? no, shut the fuck up that's not what anyone is trying to say (I'm certainly not saying that)
feel free to ban me if you think killing CEOs isn't cool. I stand by my statement.
Claiming we own this guy is like DSA taking credit for Tim Walz being nominated as VP.
Ok fine, we don't need to claim him, but we can ride the momentum he created and not act like what he did was something we should condemn. Instead of debating his politics we should be busy shouting "YES HEALTH INSURANCE IS TERRIBLE, NOW DO YOU BELIEVE US?"
Focus on the material concerns people have. This is something that the left answer for that other political ideologies do not. We can offer people a coherent explanation and cure for the injustice they face. The far-right will ultimately not provide this as they are at their core, pro capitalist.
No one said we shouldnt ride the momentum or that we need to condemn the act
Good.
