- sgift 6y ago> the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. From Oxford dictionary. Terrorism absolute includes the political struggle. The point is that terrorism uses violence and intimidation to further its goals and that it has no legal base for it.
