There's a fine line between terrorism and activism. Civil disobedience actions like labor strikes toes it without stepping over.

  In what way is a labor strike almost terrorism?
  • vinceguidry 9y ago
    Well, a labor strike is almost never entirely legal. They're always going to be breaking various civil infractions, if not actually trespassing. But also such things can be tinderboxes just waiting for the right spark to turn violent. A violent strike is certainly terrorism.

      "Terrorism" does not mean the same thing as "breaking the low", nor is it synonymous to "violence". Terrorism is about doing horrible things to scare the living shit out of a population, in order to achieve some political goals. Calling a labor strike "terrorism" is like calling a taxicab space rocket.
