Personally, I don't support attacking capitalists (except in self-defence). They should have just ignored the CEO and assumed democratic control over the company.

Not only is that the "moral" thing to do, but it's more likely to keep / win support from the community and prevent the capitalist-controlled press from finding another excuse to demonize you.

In a statement issued from Rivoli,Italy, Graziano said that some of Mr Choudhary’s attackers had no connection with the company.

Interesting.


Although it was not pretty, its an expression of class struggle.
I'm not saying it should be done, but it shows indignation with the material conditions they are facing.

I generally agree with a comment on the website


Everyone seems to have missed the point completed - killing the piano player because you don't like the music is not solving anything - Lalit Choudhary was only the messenger of the Italian company - left to do their dirty work -

The company was threatening their well-being by denying them employment. I would consider this self-defense.

True, but there was no immediate threat of harm coming from the CEO. The employees could have just as easily assumed control of the company and if the CEO then takes steps to threaten bodily harm to the employees, then if the employees responded to prevent him from doing that, it would be a more clear-cut case of self-defence.

Anyone who has been involved in a bitter industrial dispute can understand the workers lost their heads. The violence got out of hand, who started it what provocation the workers were subjected to will be lost through the death of the factory manager The lack of a decent leadership that would have kept discipline and organised the dispute better was evident. We are not dealing with normal Western disputes here, if you lose your job in India you are destitute.
