Makes sense. If something is terrorisms has always been about alignment of values and to a facist, anti-facists would 100% register as terrorists. Good to see the current US admin admitting it more openly, not that they have been particularly coy about it the last few months.

Terrorism is the use of violence (or threat thereof) in pursuit of political objectives, against the public.

Then what makes any military endevour non-terrorist? Isn't it all politically motivated in the end?

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. The argument will never be won.

Right, the point being if you terrorist is someone who fights fascism, is that not the same as soft admitting to being a fascist?
