I've seen some alright takes about the dangers of adventurism from this but honestly it just feels like fun policing rn. Save it for next week atleast
It can also undermine class struggle by weakening revolutionaries directly. Not just innocent third parties. Lenin lost his brother to adventurism. He was against it, because it's not organized. If we started advocating for it, we would lose comrades. You could argue, that one could build orgs and support networks and everything to mitigate risks, and get the masses on our side first, but then it wouldn't be adventurism anymore, just regular class struggle.
The important thing about moments like this is to capture the revolutionary potential they reveal and funnel it into our orgs.
That's a good point! I didn't think of the perspective that it's a waste of (potential) comrades. Charlie Kirk now isn't worth the loss of a potential Lyudmila Pavlichenko later on (if they catch the shooter etc...). Thanks!
