Hello comrades. In the interest of upholding our code of conduct - specifically, rule 1 (providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all) - we felt it appropriate to make a statement regarding the lionization of Luigi Mangione, the alleged United Healthcare CEO shooter, also known as "The Adjuster."
In the day or so since the alleged shooter's identity became known to the public, the whole world has had the chance to dig though his personal social media accounts and attempt to decipher his political ideology and motives. What we have learned may shock you. He is not one of us. He is a "typical" American with largely incoherent, and in many cases reactionary politics. For the most part, what is remarkable about the man himself is that he chose to take out his anger on a genuine enemy of the proletariat, instead of an elementary school.
This is a situation where the art must be separated from the artist. We do not condemn the attack, but as a role model, Luigi Mangione falls short. We do not expect perfection from revolutionary figures either, but we expect a modicum of revolutionary discipline. We expect them not simply to identify an unpopular element of society 
, but to clearly illuminate the causes of oppression and the means by which they are overcome. When we canonize revolutionary figures, we are holding them up as an example to be followed.
This is where things come back to rule 1. Mangione has a long social media history bearing a spectrum of reactionary viewpoints, and interacting positively with many powerful reactionary figures. While some commenters have referred to this as "nothing malicious," by lionizing this man we effectively deem this behavior acceptable, or at the very least, safe to ignore. This is the type of tailism which opens the door to making a space unsafe for marginalized people.
We're going to be more strict on moderating posts which do little more than lionize the shooter. There is plenty to be said about the unfolding events, the remarkably positive public reaction, how public reactions to "propaganda of the deed" may have changed since the historical epoch of its conception (and how the strategic hazards might not have), and many other aspects of the news without canonizing this man specifically. We can still dance on the graves of our enemies and celebrate their rediscovered fear and vulnerability without the vulgar revisionism needed to pretend this man is some sort of example of Marxist or Anarchist practice.
That's what we're doing. In allowing culture war issues and a few bad takes to overshadow the positive material change and avenue for class unity he has created, he will become a hero of the right and not a hero of the working class. This is an opportunity for class unity and solidarity that can't be wasted. In building a mass movement, there will likely be people without the correct ideas (as currently, those with the correct ideas are a rounding error in the US) and certainly former reactionaries. We are materialists here, and allowing idealism to overshadow material benefit here is counterproductive at best. We (rightly) lionize Aaron Bushnell and his time as a US servicemember was infinitely more harmful than a few bad tweets, however his self immolation outweighed the harm he caused before. Luigi, however, created more material change and temporary relief in shooting a CEO than Bushnell did by committing suicide. The left (rightly) lionizes Yaha Sinwar, despite the fact that he held incorrect options, because he provided a significant material because to Palestinians. At the end of the day, a moment of action changes the world more than a year of speech, and we should act acknowledging that.
