The fascist leader Charlie Kirk was assassinated in Utah today, at a college speaking engagement. A full picture of what was involved in this assassination—including the motivation of the shooter—is not clear at this point. But whatever the actual motivation of the shooter, and whatever might be involved with this, it has nothing to do with any positive change, and certainly nothing to do with an emancipating transformation of society, which can only be brought about through a revolution, involving millions of people and aiming to sweep away this whole system and replace its relations and institutions of exploitation and oppression, and its putrid culture, with ones that are liberating and uplifting.
Further, whatever comes to light, this assassination is counter to what's urgently needed now: millions in the streets, acting nonviolently in sustained political protest, uniting broadly across different political perspectives with the aim of driving the Trump Fascist Regime from power. No one should allow this assassination to become a pretext to bring down repression on the people and their just and urgently needed struggle against the illegitimate Trump Fascist Regime.
