Adventurism is socialist jargon for “revolutionary action taken without the backing of the masses or a large organization”

So I'm a socialist and I've never heard this term before.

All it accomplishes is getting the person doing it killed or incarcerated, and giving the state a free excuse for further repression. An adventurist is someone who thinks that doing revolutionary actions prematurely will inspire and activate more people to follow, when the historical record does not show that to be true.

Yeah no. The revolution must be brought by thousands if not more for the safety of the revolutionaries as well as the safety of the movement. You're killing yourself otherwise.

It was primarily used by Vladimir Lenin and revolutionaries inspired by him to criticize the revolutionary-minded people around them who did random disorganized attacks before building deep support among the population and coordination with a larger organization. Basically Lenin saying “you can’t spark the revolution before you have revolutionary numbers on your side”

Yeah that's very true. Our socialist leaders were way before their time and knew better.
