I never said that assassination can never be revolutionary. Individual, disconnected action is adventurist, and has never delivered regime change like you posit. Luigi’s assassination was not revolutionary either. The fact that none of what you said could happen did happen is because it wasn’t actually a revolutionary action, and your understanding of revolution is flawed.
Revolutionary action is action that advances the revolutionary struggle. A random individual acting alone is not advancing the revololutionary struggle.
You are trying to make the argument that the group planning doesn’t matter, the action does. I am telling you that assassination can only ever be revolutionary if it fits in the context of a revolutionary movement, and isn’t just sporadic violence. Lenin went over this a century ago and it’s still nearly the same.
No? There was a hell of a lot more going on. Random assassinations are not revolutionary.

We are discussing the assassination of a CEO, and you’re moving the goalposts to any and all assassination.
