Well there is the Debt Collective. A project they are involved in is the Rolling Jubilee which buys mass debt in the same way a collection agency would, then forgives it all. They just send everyone on the list a letter to let them know.
Obviously that's a cool thing to do, but it's a token. To change the attitude of the class, you'd need to be operating at a much more massive scale, not just paying off debt, but preventing it from accruing. How do you affect change like that without some real power to begin with?
I can't really think how this org, or a different one, could do out of the Luigi situation to get a victory about the debt situation.
Like what are you generally thinking? Meetings? Posting? Create new orgs? Recruit to existing orgs? Fundraising? Workshops? Riots? Militias?
So far we have a lot of posting energy going on, but how to direct/collect that? I agree with the sentiment of "there must be a way to use this!" but I can't zoom in on any details.. it's all hazy.
