I was in an org where the term "productivist" was thrown around at a meeting as an insult. After I looked it up, and stopped laughing at the notion that flyering and some light mutual aid was "productivist", I left that org.
the people I knew weren't opposed to doing ground work, they just had no idea how to start or where to go, nor did there ever seem capacity to do much beyond talk about news. It was more of a resigned desultory confusion than any sort of ideological commitment against doing things
