From my chat with friends on Facebook.
I don't think one man's elimination of one highly-paid CEO shook the ruling class at all. Would that mean America's health care now drastically changes (for the people) because Batman could be targeting the CEOs now, one by one? Despite its headline mojo, the recent hit is an "ordinary" crime that falls into ordinary law enforcement or police work. Soon forgotten.
Meanwhile, "peaceful organizing" and anti-war advocacy focus on a much larger, global picture. Although I am not very happy with the current peace/anti-war movement, the mere fact that the current super hawkish U.S. government ends its 4-year swath of destruction and deaths via wars--is credited as well to progressive activists. But work doesn't stop even if a semblance of peace or ceasefires happen next year. Less war is possible per legislation and continuous advocacy.
A street hit by a vigilante against a symbol of corporate greed or evil is simply an intermission hero worship. The story remains the same in America Inc. ⚖️😒💸
