Shit… I read that “Essential Works of Lenin” from the Hexbear theory archive a few months ago. I can’t remember exactly what he called it, when people would argue that a random act of violence would shock people to revolution for the actors cause… but he definitely was shitting all over the idea.

The Narodniks?

That may have been the group he was critiquing. But I thought he used a term or phrase that meant something like, “The idea that an adventurism would wake up the sleeping proletariat.”

My first guess (I’m really going to have to stop being lazy and dig through the text myself) was something like “revolutionary violence” but I don’t have confidence that its the term he was using.
