There is comparatively strong theoretical and empirical evidence that people become terrorists not to achieve their organization’s declare political agenda, but to develop strong affective ties with other terrorist members. In other words, the preponderance of evidence is that people participate in terrorist organizations for the social solidarity, not for their political return.
Well this is probably true for any organization, and for culture in general.
- jredwards 11y agoThat's true, but these groups offer a lot more than your average highschool club. It's a social structure and a livelihood.
- grandalf 11y agoyou could say the same thing about the US military though, couldn't you?
- grandalf 11y agoPrecisely. This point seems to evade the author at every turn. Terrorist organizations are organizations first.
- murbard2 11y agoMost people work for companies for reasons which have nothing to do with "social solidarity", so no, it's not true of any organization.
