Depose

Luigi Mangione, the Right to Health,
& the Unfinished American Revolution

By The December 4 Legal Committee

— Peter Linebaugh, author of The Magna Carta Manifesto: Liberties and Commons for All

For us, what mattered was never whether he did it. What mattered was that millions of people around the world believed he did. And they loved him for it.

Luigi Mangione was immediately embraced as an alleged hero across America, as if the fallen CEO of the largest health insurance company in the US were the real criminal in a much larger crime; as if the bullets had deposed a tyrant.

Depose is not an argument for killing. It is an inquiry into what that explosion of support reveals: a common sense of justice with the potential to transform America’s future — and even its past.
