You keep hearing the word "adventurism" thrown around, usually by leftists who happen to be embedded in counter‑insurgency operations disguised as communist parties. So what does it actually mean? In their mouths, it means any action that might upset their ability to sit at the table with the oppressor. They've taken a term that once had strategic meaning, actions detached from mass conditions and turned it into a club to beat anyone who steps outside the revisionist party line.
Ever since the Soviet reforms and the betrayal of the Comintern under Khrushchev, most communist parties internationally have become class enemies. Not just in the US. Globally. The ones that haven't accepted Maoism, or some form of decentralized, decolonial struggle, are just state‑capitalist NGOs with red aesthetics. They are not a vanguard, nor will they ever be. Nearly every organization exists as a fire extinguisher for the working class insurrection.
Look at India. The Communist Party of India calls the Naxalites adventurist. They actually said, "Make no mistake, anti‑revisionist Maoism is an anarchist force, not a Leninist one."

To them, "adventurist" means any action that might make the oppressor uncomfortable enough to withdraw an invitation to sit at their table. The population could be ready to drag the rich out of their cars, and these revisionists would call a piece of anti‑politician graffiti "adventurism."
That's counter‑insurgency, and if you are ok with people who hold your beliefs doing counter-insurgency, then you aren't ready for revolutionary situations. In revolution enemies need to be cleared out of the way, including ones who appear to be on your side. That's what it looks like. Never forget that communist parties have violently suppressed workers insurrections. They've pulled the trigger. They've called the cops. They've done the state's dirty work while wearing a hammer a sickle. Am I talking about the soviets? Not at all. Go look into the socialist mayors, and revisionists that were sending police bullets on workers insurrectionists during the years of lead.
So we have enemies within. They need to be rendered useless. Destroyed. Not debated, not "won over" they must be neutralized. The anarchists and Maoists in Greece showed the KKE what happens when this battle gets physical. And guess what? The revisionists got bodied. Because they ain't about shit. They f
