Literally just go outside and write ACAB on something. Dumpster dive something. Slack off at work. Map your neighborhood's security cameras. Delete your Instagram. Write a political prisoner. Start a garden. Drop acid. Give a homeless lady some hand-warmers. Put "out of service" signs on parking meters. Pick one and do it right now.

These aren't revolutionary acts, these are the calisthenics you do so you'll be in shape for the revolution.

      A lot of "adventurist" activities can be useful in a couple of ways. The first is as the impetus for future action. For example, people involved in the Mai '68 uprising characterized the initial barricades as "the actions of a handful of madmen." The actions of these mad men were the catalyst for an uprising that ended up involving labor unions and communist parties. I think in the US BLM is a good example of the same effect.

      The second way is as a "Technology of Self" to borrow Mark Fischer's terminology. Something you do not to engage in class struggle, but to break out of capitalist subjectivity, and start to build cultures more conducive to communism. Passivity in the face of the commodification of urban space (parking meters) is an aspect of capitalist subjectivity and fucking with them is a way to break out of that.
