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?

I think we might be on the same page. The point being that terrorism is anything that tries to push political ideals contrary to the status quo you wish to either enact or uphold. So then if you label anti-fascism as terrorism, is that not the same as soft admitting to being a fascist?
