WHAT DEFINES TERRORISM? FIGHTING FOR LIBERTY IS ALWAYS JUST.

–“Section 83.01 of the Criminal Code defines terrorism as an act committed “in whole or in part for a political, religious or ideological purpose, objective or cause” with the intention of intimidating the public “…with regard to its security, including its economic security, or compelling a person, a government or a domestic or an international organization to do or to refrain from doing any act.”–

Bingo. It’s not Criminal (for profit) it’s Political.

Usual argument also includes the difference between:

1) state actors (war)

2) state sponsored actors (insurgency)

3) state-tolerated actors (succor)

4) non-state, organized actors (groups)

5) non-state, non-organized actors (individuals)

6) non-state organized rebels (groups)

7) non-state non-organized rebels (individuals)

In practice we treat non-state actors as criminals and state actors as acts of war. But the problem of state-tolerated actors who are indirectly sponsored my giving them shelter has become a problem. Weak states are not capable of preventing their territory from use as a staging area. Yet the post-war consensus is predicated on the inviolability of borders. Prior theory was that states are responsible for the actions of their citizens. In practice americans, as world policemen, hold states accountable under pre-war theory. However, the academy-state complex (what some of us call the Cathedral) ideology is that we cannot hold states or citizens accountable for the actions of their peers.

NOW WHAT ABOUT JUST AND UNJUST ACTIONS?

Well, we can fight to implement greater or lesser liberty (property rights). This is the only question we must answer.

SO WE HAVE THREE AXIS

1) State vs Non State`

2) Internal vs External

3) Increase or Decrease free riding (trust).

Internal or external, individual or group, and increase in liberty: moral.

Internal or external, individual or group, and decrease in liberty: immoral.

So the only question as to whether one is conducting war, terrorism, or revolution is whether one is attempting to increase the scope of impositions on free riding.

Fighting for increased liberty is always just.
