The similarities to pre-revolution Bolshevism and these zelots are so
sparse and general that the comparison doesn't make the much sense.
There is certainly no "same approach" going on.

Problems with historical comparison aside, the notion of these nuts ever
being 'popular', let alone leading a popular uprising is a little unlikely to
say the least.

ed: Perhaps a better comparison from the early 20th century is with the
Anarchist movements which invented the use of bombs as terror weapons.
ed2: On second thoughts, this too is a poor comparison. The Anarchists
made much more effort to be intellectually serious.
