The assassination of an insurance company CEO

Acts to inspire class solidarity are a good idea, but I think it would have been much better if Luigi Mangione had used his imagination to come up with some good attention-getting act of nonviolent civil disobedience. Perhaps some clever, imaginative graffiti art on insurance company office buildings?

It's not, although voting hasn't exactly led to leadership that cares to do anything beyond a bit of tinkering around the edges.
I definitely don't support such extrajudicial killings as the answer, however, nobody should be feeling to bad that that pos is dead, there's a very real possibility of a net positive body count on that shooting.
Really, with how many people have given up on voting at all, and the near complete lack of correlation between what the voters are voting for and what we get compared with the near perfectly correlation between what the donors want and what they get, I'm surprised it's taken this long for people to decide that violence is the answer. Most people don't have the money to donate and voting clearly hasn't been working the last 50+ years.

Without any organizing to move the momentum forward, I doubt it.
Another thought. It's fascinating to see the different aspects of who's human and who is not, playing out in real time. A ceo with ten-thousands of deaths on his hands get shot to death, is a tragedy. And at the same time Daniel Penny got found not guilty for strangling the black homeless guy to death because he had a mental episode and that scared Daniel Penny, which is understandable?
I don't support either actions. However it nice to see people questioning their society and wanting something else. Something better and finding common ground. Next step is organizing.
Yep. Organizing is what we need. Organization is the primary way that large groups of people without a lot of money can get things done politically.
Here is a list of organizations, here in the U.S.A., that support Medicare for All. Many of these groups are labor unions, and some are organizations for people in specific demographics (e.g. religious groups), but others are general membership organizations that anyone can join, and still others are general lobbying groups (whose influence depends not just on how much money they have, but also on the size of their lists of supporters).
I would encourage every American who cares about this issue to join one or more of these organizations.

Good luck with that.
All it takes is for a small fraction of the united group to either try to make profit for themselves or to try to make trouble for everyone else.
