I think they meant that "we" are the target of the meme as the virgin Marxists not successful revolutions of the past.
Then you run into the reality that Luigi didn't actually change anything either, it was just a cool and unifying moment and will likely get swept under the rug with some minor concessions if we don't take advantage of this unity and push for organization. Assassination has never transfered power from one class to another, revolution has, and revolution requires organization.
I personally believe Marxist analysis still holds up under scrutiny despite the lack of a western revolution, moreover the fact that the proletariat is celebrating across party lines lends credibility to the idea of increasing radicalization among the proletariat as conditions worsen.
Absolutely, not arguing about any of that just wanted to point out where I thought the focus was on that one part.
