We should be more specific here. As I see it pushing their unrelated publications / promoting their org unprompted is a kind of tailism, a tendency to solely insert oneself in unfolding events. But that isn't to say that we should escew agitation as a whole as the opposite pole of tailism is opportunism. Rather, agitation, pamphleting at a protest, etc. should be focused on connecting the specific issue to a broader revolutionary line. In a sentence: 'from the masses, to the masses.'
