Spoken like an agent provocateur. A key aspect of decent humans (what you call left) is that there is no (moral) authority. That's a concept of asshole humans (a.k.a. "right").

You could argue that Luigi killing the CEO from a utilitarian perspective is a net positive. Things are still playing out, so it is hard to say.
What i feel strongly about is making Luigi a leader would be a net negative from a utilitarian standpoint.
I wasn't arguing in favor of making him a leader, just objecting to the trolling about a "left leadership". The very concept of empathetic people (a.k.a. "left") is to not crave leadership and to encourage diversity in opinions, which also means that we typically never agree on many things. That's the main weakness of people with a conscience versus those who follow an authoritarian cult.
You are correct. I messed up. I miss interpreted the post as suggesting Luigi become a leader. This is on me. Sorry.
