Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Gotta give it a few years, but I am currently preparing a "Dear Anarchists, I was wrong. Propaganda of the deed can, indeed, be effective..." post.
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.
Preparing to submit my new pamphlet to marxists.org
I'm ready to be there with you comrade.
Please anarchists, I want to be owned.
sorry we don't believe in ownership
Anyone who said "nothing will come of this" has been proven wrong, infinitely so when you, yknow, think about how propaganda works and realize 90% of the country simultaneously going "yea yknow what kill those fuckers" is obviously in and of itself something momentous
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
(*western) anarchists themselves abandoned it after getting socdem benefits
(aside from space program in spain, but they've had franco)
raf and 17n didn't, with not a lot of success as a propaganda (vdl miss to the l column)
It won't change the class relations of society but it may raise class consciousness slightly. Hating the bourgeoisie is an excellent starting point.
Khamenei apology form but for the abstract notion of just killing a guy.
