100. This guy was no hero
Or communist, or even a leftie. He was a whining yuppie who chose killing himself over the prospect of being pushed into the working class. Read between the lines. Go past the rant and look at the politics. Stack was a dispossessed "middle class" small business owner who tried to get over and got caught -- not once, not twice, but three times. And when he finally faced the reality of his situation, that his future was having to actually get a real job and work for a living, he chose to burn his house down (leaving his wife and child homeless) and crash his plane into an IRS building (possibly killing dozens of public employees who never even knew who he was). This isn't about revolution. This is pure reaction, courtesy of a reactionary populist. Screw him. I hope he survived the crash long enough to burn in the fire.
