Well, adventurism isn't going to get society there. It might inspire some people to organize, or at least gather around an issue. When something seen as tragic or heroic happens, it sometimes inspires people to do something about it, but it might as well have no results. Even if all of the ceo died today, tomorrow just as many would be in their places.
Yes I very much agree with that. The system has endless options for bodies to fill chairs. Nothing really changes until there are systemic changes, which adventurism alone cannot achieve.
My reason for support is more measured - people are inspired but 99.999% will not follow in his footsteps. We can be there to show them that they can contribute to change without doing anything so grand. The energy right now can be directed toward basic activities, seized by reactionaries, or it can dissipate. I don't think the first option is realistic unless we show a little critical support.
Also I think it's pretty alienating in this moment not to. I've seen a small minority of people (including all of the US media) oppose this particular event strongly and they sounded really disconnected.
