It’s not that it works systemically. It’s that the capitalists have an inherent interest in 1) not being randomly killed by someone trying to change the system and 2) it’s more the broader pattern of thinking that’s a problem, liberalism has everyone convinced non-violence is the only acceptable way for change. The moment you break out of that paradigm the risk isn’t more random lone wolf killings, the real risk is people contemplating violent structural change. So the panic is about stopping people from seeing violence as a way to enact solutions to their problems and the desire is getting them back into the voting booth and so on.

Which, love it or hate it, was a major goal behind propaganda of the deed. So admitting that these adventurist acts do have that effect is an admission that adventurism does work, or at least that it does have a role to play in actual systemic change.
Adventurism is a natural occurrence under sharpening contradictions, it’s not whether it is good or bad, that is like judging the morality of a lightning strike. But energy is energy and just as lightning is a violent discharge of atmospheric energy, which we observed and harnessed in the form of electricity, so too must we find effective ways to conduct and channel such energy building in the masses toward organized and productive and ultimately revolutionary ends.

This is incredibly important.
Revolution literally can not happen unless people believe in and side with the use of violence. Actions that are effective in changing that (which Luigi has certainly proven to be) are bringing about one of the prerequisites necessary for revolution.

or they would vastly expand FBI powers/make a new super FBI

wow it sounds like it works to me
Their barbarous pack of lone wolf adventurists versus our noble mass line vanguard
