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.
But we have to return to the original context of this, which is that you declared that only Luigi was revolutionary, and that existing revolutionary organizations that are preparing the basis for successful revolution are not. Luigi assassinating a CEO did absolutely nothing. It gained no worker power, which exists only in the form of organizing. Organizing is the means by which the working class can wield its strength against the capitalist class. A random act of assassination, disconnected from revolutionary practice, does nothing to organize the working class or weaken the capitalist state.
You claim you’ve been unsuccessful in getting me to define my words, but I’ve been tremendously clear. You’re constantly shifting the goalposts and trying to avoid the very critical point that you said organizing is not revolutionary and that random assassination is.

Do you believe that the PSL, as an example, is doing less for the revolutionary movement than Luigi?

I think you’re more concerned with labels than what work advances revolution and what work does not, which is my point.
