The entire point of financial capital is that attacks against things like their headquarters mean nothing.

They didn't mean nothing though. That is demonstrably incorrect.

You are also applying a theory that is only supposed to be applied to the context of ending capitalism to the context of an attack that wasn't intended to do that.

If your goal is to hurt high finance then anticapitalist theories are correct, not salafism.

And of course it didn't mean nothing, it was a terrorist attack. It just wasn't any kind of remotely effective attack against finance or some bullshit like that, it was just an attack against the tallest building because what else would you attack with a plane. I'm not the one giving it meaning that the authors of the attack never gave it.
