    Investors are mad that UHC management got scared and backed off on the blatant evil by a teeny tiny amount for a few weeks after the CEO got wasted.

        Definitely adventurism but finally one that was thought out enough to both serve as a great rallying issue for the disaffected masses as well as strike enough fear into the targeted company that it sent them into a tailspin. As communists, adventurism isn’t one of our tactics but this is a rare case of it being a relatively effective tactic

          Luigi isnt a communist, he could be made one, but he didnt do it (allegedly) due to any concrete leftist believes.

            He also has a lot of problematic, reactionary views. If he was the actual assassin, he did it because it affected him personally, not because he’s against the system itself. It’s rightwing infighting coming home to roost.

        Adventurism may not be a solution, but it is part of the narrative!

        adventurism as a member of an official socialist organization is dangerous, not as a rando. It was also primarily said because people on hexbear literally thought there was going to be a russian revolution 2.0 in america by Christmas.

      I think it’s more to do with the Medicare fraud they did. Falsification of diagnoses in order to trigger extra payments to its Medicare Advantage plans.

        Holy shit they’re finally getting called on this? MA billing fraud has been like an open secret for like a decade, I’m actually shocked this is finally getting investigated. The FTC has probably gotten thousands of tip line calls on this for every single insurance company that offers MA plans.

          I think it’s because UnitedHealth took it to the extreme: there’s rumours that they were falsifying HIV/AIDS diagnosis.

              It’s just a rumour, so it could definitely be false. But nothing surprises me these days…
