I kinda figured this would be his take but this was released before Luigi was identified/caught off in remembering correctly

It's only Luigi according to the police, who I don't believe. And for whatever reason, Breht didn't retract the video so I think he's still sticking with it.

I love RevLeftRadio. Notice, how Breht never claims, that adventurism or whatever is a viable strategy for us, but that capturing this moment for propaganda is a good opportunity. I appreciate, how he stresses, where the systemic violence actually is. That's of course the message we should push in face of bourgeoise moralizing. That and demarcating class lines based on material interests as revealed by reactions like those of the media.

The peoples reaction is also an important lesson for doomers or anyone who underestimates the revolutionary potential of the working class. Cause that revolutionary potential still lives and grows underneath all the brain washing. It is constantly being fed by the brutal material reality of the mode of production. No amount of ideology will ultimately be able to keep these material contradictions from surfacing and erupting more and more often in some form or other.

Amen. 100% agree. This came at the perfect time to help us realize that they still have revolutionary potential, that people still want change.

this is not as controversial as putting an H in Bret

"The Shooter" can be made into a folk hero independently of Luigi IMO if the messaging is careful either never to mention any personal detail related to Luigi M, or to explicitly sow doubt Luigi is the real shooter.

or to explicitly sow doubt Luigi is the real shooter.

The NYPD is doing a great job of that all on their own.
