      PotD can be effective, but only if enough conditions get bad enough for the majority of people are hurting bad enough. The pressure has to be built-up to the point that the normally “I’m not a political person” types have personally been fucked over badly enough. Otherwise they are able to be kept in line by corpo propaganda about how “evil” the person(s) are for being violent. Law and order and all that.

      If there are copycats, it still needs to be shown that it actually is effective in terms of political change. Likewise, if change does happen in the near future, it would be unclear whether it was already in the course of its own development with or without Luigi

      It won’t change the class relations of society but it may raise class consciousness slightly. Hating the bourgeoisie is an excellent starting point.
