[The chapter uses Foucault’s archeological methodology to scrutinize militancy, understood as government strategy tailored to produce revolutionary-oriented subjects. In it, I explore passages of Soviet history, showing how they played a pivotal role in constructing a specific mode of shaping people’s conduct to produce a revolutionary disposition; and how they still inform the rationale adopted by vanguardist organizations. The analysis identified three anchorage points sustaining the militant governmentality and its correlate institutions: (a) Democratic Centralism; (b) economic Stakhanovism; and (c) cultural Zhdanovism. Finally, I take a closer look at important paths through which this governmentality became hegemonic in Brazilian protest culture. Mapping these past events generates critical insights into the rationale informing ongoing tensions between ativistas and militantes’ values, moralities, and repertoires of action.]
