    Correct me if I’m wrong but those look like valid cases of actual terrorist orgs. Now if only this wasn’t limited to one ideology because I’m sure you’d find more right wing ones.

      “and an anti-fascist group whose members were prosecuted by German authorities for a hammer attack against neo-Nazis in Dresden.”

      Is that terrorism?

        No, it’s dropping the hammer on some Nazis.

        Come on people, the only way to protect tolerance is not to tolerate intolerance.

          To recap: A Neo-Nazi government has labeled an antifascist group a terrorist organization because the antifascist group targeted Nazis.

        Vigilantism is usually considered terrorism if done by a political org.

        [edit] Disclaimer: terrorism is okay sometimes because someone’s terrorist might be a somebody else’s freedom fighter - it all depends on the perspective. It’s just that if roles were reversed you’d be calling those nazis terrorists too and they’ll point out this as hypocrisy. Don’t give them ammo when you don’t need to.

      I guess it’s valid to disagree with hitting Nazis with a hammer, but how is this supposed to be terrorism? The Nazis that got attacked tried several times to kill leftists by running them over with a car, that sound much more like terrorism to me.
