"VP of something or other" is a title banks typically give to middle management iirc, definitely far from CEO down unfortunately (even if some ghoulishness is a prerequisite for her position)

Not even middle management, just a senior employee
You can get it after like 4 years lol
VP is the first step after associate at the big four US banks.
I don't think this is a :mario-dance: but regardless; another Tango Down
having trouble formulating this thought but
the available information points to the death being femicide / intimate partner violence / abuse
like sometimes we have "critical support" for "comrade cancer" etc. but it's hard to get behind what is decribed as a fucking woman beating death as some sort of class victory.
It 100% is domestic violence. I don't support, including no critical support for, the violence, but I also don't waste tears for dead bankers.
nobody was asking you to cry for anyone.
I don't cry for almost any articles I read about deaths including those who were great people.
I really have a hard time tho with the idea of "tango down". That makes it sounds like you are siding with the aggressor in this situation. It isn't like "comrade cancer" where the adulation is directed towards just some natural process that did the deed against all available human interventions. It was a human being, probably a cis man, probably who had some sort of sexual/romantic relationship (at least in his mind) whose hands (or an object they held) literally hit this woman over and over and over again until she bled to death, or until she had a stroke or an infarction or something.
In the history of class struggle, we rarely conduct assassinations in this manner. We are killed like this routinely. The method of death suggests top-down. Even though she was a banker and probably scum. It is overall I think a bad omen that women even at this level cannot protect themselves from petty men bullshit.
I understand where you are coming from. Truthfully I feel worse for making you feel bad, and in the interest of our own solidarity I apologize and I'll leave it alone.
ok, i get you are backing down
but shit dude my feelings are of no consequence. adhere to what you said, or have indecision, or change your mind, based on your mind. not on my emotions. who cares of my emotions.
don't back down to save my feelings.
I haven't changed my mind, but this isn't the place nor are you the person that should be on the receiving end.
Leave it to Hellworld to even take the fun out of a CEO getting killed.
Fully agree here. Especially since the motivation was likely not rooted in material politics there's no need to cheer it.
Also, I'm not going to condone adventurism, but also any adventurists, if you do it 
Don't do it 
But if you do, be clean about it, no need to beat someone to death 
.
But yeah I don't think this is praxis, just a bad thing happened to a bad person 
I don't know, I'm not saying it's cool in this situation, but beating a Nazi or some piece of shit like that to death is pretty badass, even though it's not as clean.
good post and my thoughts as well
Yeah, two things to take into account.
So we're just blindly supporting murder now as long as the person is a corpo?
What do you mean by blind, and what do you mean by support? I don't think anyone here is in a position to affect the outcome of this situation either way, the most we can do is decide how to feel about it. So the real question is "are we happy when corpos die" and like...yeah, usually.
This one is so-so, not very high ranking and went out in an ugly personal way unrelated to her actions. I feel the same way here as I would about, for example, a career cop who dies of an overdose and is found by his young kid. It's normal to have empathy for a person dying, especially from a cause that's horrifyingly relatable because it cuts across all classes, like addiction and intimate partner violence. At the same time, it's also correct to note an enemy down, and to extend that empathy to the many victims of the machine they were knowingly serving, whose purpose is to facilitate the visiting of profitable violence on millions of others.
This seems more like a domestic dispute gone wrong.
The title bloat in MEGACORP America is nonsense. "vice president of trade and working capital sales" could be a fancy term for middle management who makes some decent money. This certainly not one of the final bosses of capital, this is barely even a name special enemy.
Also this seems really "domestic abuse"-y.
Corporate 
Huh, I read this as that the killer was beaten to death...
