This is a TAAT because the thread about the Suffragettes is getting derailed by me, mainly. But I'm interested in this point. Someone said that they don't support the Suffragettes because they don't support terrorists and the Suffragettes were terrorists.
A couple of things I'm interested in. What people think terrorism is, and who counts.
Here's a list:
The IRA (whether you agreed with their aims or not)
The Suffragettes
The ANC/Nelson Mandela/Winnie Mandela
Che Guevara
The Sandinistas
Aung San Suu Kyi
The American intervention in secret wars (Laos, El Salvador)
The Resistance in Nazi Germany (not the French Resistance)
The French Resistance
The Chartists
Obviously we probably all broadly agree on the two ends of the spectrum of non-legal, non-government sanctioned action; Gandhi and the bastards in Manchester. But it's the middle that interests me.
