Luigi has not had, will never have, any impact on that system because instead of actually trying to change that system he threw his life, and his ivy league rich boy education, away over petty emotions.
But people, probably Tankies tbh, are cheering for more people to waste more lives and bullets and have no real impact.
Luigi has not had, will never have, any impact on that system
He already has. Heath insurance executives have all scrambled to take down their information from web sites. Because everybody now knows that this is a shameful job to have rather than a job to brag about.
Wow! Such a HUGE win for the downtrodden and poor that are unable to afford basic medicine medical procedures!
I’m sure they’ll be overjoyed to see that heath insurance executives have taken down their names from the parts of their websites that no one cares about or visits. This is exactly what was needed to fix the broken system!
Whether someone approves of this or not, the result of CEO’s being more afraid to go to extreme measures to screw the public is something that is a good thing.
And as I said, so long as they removed their pictures and info from websites- it’s a win?
As has been said many times already, Luigi did nothing at all. At best, he sent a message to people who don’t have to, or care to listen, and inspired a bunch of internet activists to pump their fists in the air.
The result? No change.
Insurance companies are still doing exactly what they did before. And will continue to do so until actual action is taken.
We have a 40-hour work week because unions literally fought for it. I’d guess most people don’t want more violence but working through the system was pretty impossible even before fascists took complete control last month.
After a peaceful protest and hardlines negotions between GM and the United Auto Workers in 1937, legislators passed the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938. Many accredit the achievment to labor secretary Francis Perkins.
Guess what? None of that shit that Luigi pulled will ever have any such impact, if anything it will likely turn people away from movements that idolize him.
You don’t think the peaceful protests were backed by the threat of union violence that had been regular up until the New Deal?
The media tried so hard to make people hate Luigi in December and it didn’t work because everyone knows insurance companies murder for profit. Voting hasn’t helped, the media is owned by oligarchs, most social media is too, and if you protest you either get ignored or beaten up by the cops.
It’s not my first choice of action even now, but probably-Luigi killed a guy who was otherwise untouchable and the oligarchs flipped their shit. Abraham Lincoln’s death gimped Reconstruction, MLK’s death hurt the civil rights movement (and spurred nationwide riots causing passage of another civil rights act), Panthers leadership hurt their organization too.
If violence was so effective why did nothing change until the peaceful protest and union negotiations?
It’s almost like getting people to actually engage in political discussions is more effective than hitting everything you don’t like with a club. Who would have thunk it?
What lead up to the 1938 labor laws was in fact peaceful protests and negotiations.
I’m not saying the time period lacked strife and similar events, but there was an immediate cause effect cited by all sides of the issue from the specific peaceful protests and auto workers union.

Okay, so Luigi’s legacy is making health insurance CEOs safer in public?
Nope. It is making health insurance CEOs more afraid to screw the public.
Demonstrably not, though, because they’re still screwing full throttle.

Nothing will ever have that impact until Dems win and win big again like in the 1930’s.

It’s almost like you’re not engaging in a political discussion. More like you are a bot programed to demonize Luigi and apologize for the CEOs.
But I think it’s your liberal brain worms rather than code. Either way…
What, you think the Russians or Israel or some shit have it out for Luigi? Face it, you’re not the revolution just because you idolize a murderer.
Man read a book on that time period.
Those protests were not peaceful, a member of the business class almost got killed in his office.
And the national guard killed kids, women.
Striking and the threat of more striking is what happened not peaceful protests. And working folks died.
