Adventurism or Escalation

How are you idiots still talking about voting?

To be American is a deeply disturbing humiliation ritual. It feels like a fever dream one cannot wake up from. On the one hand you have a government ruled by baby eating pedophile rapists, or as they’re colloquially known, zionists. And on the other you have a population that is either too stupid and/or too lazy to take appropriate actions against them.

In the publication Revolutionary Adventurism Lenin warns against the actions of a lone few who are not connected to building revolutionary working class consciousness. He specifically talks about “assassinations” and “terrorism” as being disconnected and counterproductive to the revolution. But when is violence and/or an escalation of tactics the reasonable thing to do?

From Soledad Brother: The Prison Letters of George Jackson: “In a nonviolent movement there must be a latent threat of eruption, a dormant possibility of sudden and violent action if concessions are to be won, respect gained, and the established order altered.”

There has always been a group of people intellectually ahead of the masses. The inner core of professional revolutionaries, whom Lenin tasks with educating and organizing the working class by his own admission must be further ahead in the process of revolution than those they seek to mobilize. There exists in every time period, people who built up the working class and actively tore down the power structure before it was popular in the minds of the masses. History remembers them fondly but they are despised during their lifetime. Sometimes, it was the actions of these individuals that helped propel the consciousness of the working class forward.

For example, did General Harriet Tubman wait until public opinion supported the killing of white human traffickers responsible for enslaving African people, raping them, and eating their babies? No, she addressed the material conditions and anticipated acting with greater urgency while the masses caught up. The underground railroad is proof of organizing the working class. An information and resource network of people, businesses, and safe houses. But General Tubman famously carried a pistol to protect herself both from white human traffickers and anyone who was an obstacle to freedom.

I am not joking when I say that if General Harriet Tubman were alive today some of you would take to a fascist owned website to call her an adventurist. With the rise of social media and the commentary class people are so quick to classify any act of resistance against the pedophile predator class as an act of adventurism. They dismiss direct action and other escalations in favor of permitted “protests” where people livestream their inefficacy with pride! How many Arrest Netanyahu parades should we have? Will they stop eating and raping babies now that we’ve done a lap around their office on a Saturday while organizers of the protest actively discourage property damage?

I saw a No Kings Protest right next to a Chase Bank in Studio City in 2025 and though there were thousands of people there, not a single person thought to touch the bank. I think I saw a “protestor” sweeping the dust away from the entrance. Contrast that with the burning of the Bank of America at UC Santa Barbara in the 70’s and it indicates that someone has to make the first move or nobody will. The culture of “American protest” is so drastically dulled, so disgustingly commercialized, now Tik Tok influencers make get ready with me to go “fight fascism” videos.

Let’s examine what some people might call modern day adventurism. Luigi Mangione is alleged to have assassinated healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Though the assassination didn’t upend the for-profit healthcare system it inarguably sent shockwaves throughout the globe and caused the company United Healthcare to backtrack on an unpopular policy proposal of putting limits on anesthesia.

More importantly it reminded the people that violence is an option, and it’s theirs to claim if they choose. It proved that even a big-wig healthcare CEO was still human, and he faced a pre-existing condition of being allergic to lead. In allegedly taking action against a CEO, Luigi exposed much of the public supports this type of action. This chain of events inspired other people to take what they perceive as similar actions. It sparked conversations around class consciousness in a way that many organizations have been unable to do for years with book clubs. He allegedly applied reasoned understanding of theory into action which is known to communists as praxis. Believe it or not there was once a time when communists applauded executing fascists instead of being a part of organizations that condemn such actions. Is this an example of adventurism or was it a reasoned escalation of tactics?

The people in these supposed “revolutionary” organizations are really good at illustrating the CIA sabotage handbook. Having conferences, endless meetings with no action, and getting people to vote for Democrats who immediately betray their progressive promises. Meanwhile vanguard organizations like Palestine Action receive much less support and enthusiasm. It’s because many people are still enjoying the benefits of the system. They don’t truly want to see the system overthrown, they don’t care about the urgency of upending a system that protects a class of rapist pedophiles, they are not willing to sacrifice comforts of the Super Bowl Half time show or access to BDS products like Coca-Cola and Starbucks.

Palestine Action just won a slurry of different landmark legal cases in the UK. They fought the insane proscription as a terrorist organization and won. The Filton 24 are exonerated, and six of the members beat their frame job case of “aggravated burglary.” Revolutionary comrade Sean "Shibby" Middlebrough liberated himself from UK dungeons. Palestine Action is basically undefeated in court, they’ve managed to shut down multiple weapons manufacturers, force the sale of real estate, and generated enough property damage to impact the bottom line of businesses connected to genocide. Should they have waited for the workers at these factories to achieve class consciousness, and seize the means of production or was there a moral imperative to shut them down? Is this so called adventurism or is it a reasoned escalation of tactics?

People sitting in front of their ring lights checking their notifications, or those organizing protest parades might look at that and call it adventurism, many would suggest it’s a necessary escalation of tactics. People engaged in revolutionary struggle understand urgency and duty in a way that people who promote calling your representatives, voting for democrats, or waiting till the midterms do not comprehend or care about.

This is the part where everyone gets upset with my analysis and starts to point the finger at me. Well who are YOU?!? What have you done?

The need for someone to fed post in order to levy criticism against a cabal of pedophile rapists and the inadequate response from the public should help you realize you’re triggered because you still identify with the system. You love the settler colony known as the United States. You believe the lies America told you about elections and you’ll probably vote for Gavin Newsom because you’re an idiot who believes in the argument of harm reduction. You’re somehow still unmoved by the fact that politics are controlled by cannibalistic baby raping pedophiles. You’re nostalgic for a time when it was Obama vaporizing a wedding party in Yemen and all you had to complain about was his tan suit.
