Literally 196 shooter, put them up to the chair for writing cringe like that alone
And no, propaganda of the deed has been shown to not work in Luigi's case. It's literally been more than 9 months, it didn't inspire the public at large at all (unless you count online larping) and just another lone wolf who from what I can see just recently got into leftism.
That's not how any propaganda works, never mind "propaganda of the deed" - there's a reason people talk about propaganda campaigns and not propaganda events. You need a lot of it before it actually starts working.
Assassination has always been a seriously risky form of POTD - as the old anarchists dicovered the really, really hard way.
Yeah, old anarchists were outright against it.
Also, campaign implies an organized effort, but these individual murders are anything but. Essentially what we got so far weren't campaigns or even events necessarily, but mere spectacles. Momentary and fleeting, lasting until news cycles stop reporting on it and move on
This kind of unilateral shitfuckery have always created more problems for anarchists than anything else... they still blame an anarchist for starting WW1 for Christ's sake - you'd think we'd be more vocal about our disapproval of it, but apparently, that's a bridge too far for us.
What anarchist started WW1? Gavrilo Princip was a nationalist, not an anarchist. Inspired by anarchists and anarchist strategies, but he was a nationalist above all.
A lot of propaganda at the time blamed anarchists... and I've seen it repeated plenty of times - even in our history textbooks here in Aprtheid-era South Africa.
When I was in school where I live (America) it was taught he was a serbian nationalist affiliated with the Black Hand. Not saying you arent right, just saying that it depends on your education
Doesn't matter. That's not the point.
I think Luigis case has made the average person more sympathetic to terribleness of insurance.
Maybe, but healthcare question was already the biggest in US, with endless talks because it doesn't suit business interests.
Besides, sympathy alone won't bring about change, which is the goal.
