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.

This is nonsense. Especially given that the Pentagon was hit and that’s like 5 floors tall.
An attack against any other tall building wouldn’t have provoked the reaction the US had to it because it wouldn’t have been a targeted attack at the very people responsible for imperialism around the world. If you attacked a random residential building full of proles the ruling class would have shrugged, like they do when 2 or 3 of them collapsed last year and it was given literally no attention at all.
The reaction they had, dragging the US into multiple wars, signing off incredibly invasive laws that could be used for invasion of privacy, anti terror, etc etc. All of this came from the chosen targets of that day.
Stop talking about it as an attack on finance and start understanding it as a targeted attack to provoke a very intentional reaction from the american ruling class dragging it into a series of events that would lead to its decline.
