Adventurism

The assassination of Charlie Kirk, an act of adventurism.

Adventurism is the doctrine of taking actions that don't correspond to the material conditions, making moves that don't benefit the movement, and taking actions that are unproductive in the grand scheme of the revolution. Acts of adventurism include assassinations without any larger plan or strategy and individual attacks on police or state infrastructure, attacks purely for spectacle or instilling terror without any strategy, etc. Marxists oppose adventurism, as it is a left-deviationist form of revisionism.
