    This, I think, is the true significance of Luigi. He's not going to inspire proletarian revolution or awaken class consciousness or anything like that and as fun as it is to imagine it's naive to pin those results on his action.

    However, his actions (and the response by the bourgeois media and state) have clearly exposed the hypocrisy for even the most unaware among us. It has been exposed in a way that is so perfectly concise and pure.

    It is wonderful to see people use that framework to expand upon that analysis and we should encourage them to continue on that path.

    'Terrorist' is a label only for crimes that do not give the ruling class a hard on.

    Do we have a source on this? Last I checked the FBI is investigating this as an act of terror, and the dude had a fucking ISIS flag on his truck.

    A driver behind the wheel of a pickup truck raced into a crowd of New Orleans revelers on Bourbon Street early on New Year’s Day, killing 15 people in what the FBI is investigating as an act of terrorism.

      They've probably changed the assessment at this point but this was this morning as far as I know.
