Nationalist Separatists Groups

Another element of the strategy is untwisting the “spiral of violence”. The classic mechanism, which assume the existence of cycles of suicide terrorism activity in a “action-repression-reaction” it is aimed at lowering the public support for the government, and increase it for the terrorists. By curried out the suicide terrorism attacks, the intension and aim of the terrorists is to hit the repressive actions of the authorities not only in themselves but also in the group indentified with them and/or their supporters (a specified ethnic group, religious, social or the entire society). As a result, this process has lead to massive social explosion directed against the government. Such a model of strategy for terrorism has been used by most of the leftist groups in Europe in the nineteenth century, and in the

Right-wing terrorism, also referred to as vigilante terrorism is defined as “Vigilante terrorism includes right-wing terrorism aimed at "restoring" the political relationships of an earlier time or realizing social objectives that are neglected or discounted in the contemporary world” (Professor Cadigan, 2015, Week 4 lecture). There is also left-wing terrorism, which is referred to as insurgent terrorism is explained as “forcing change through terrorist acts” (Professor Cadigan, 2015, Week 4 lecture). Left-wing terrorism has been around since the 1960s to 1970s.

In a United States-centered world, when one considers domestic terrorism, often one assumes that the United States is being spoken about, with all other acts of terrorism being deemed as “international.” While it is true that it would be international from a US standpoint, if all acts of terrorism are seen within a bubble it makes it much more difficult to combat terrorists before they become a larger problem. Often, many domestic terrorists can go on to have an impact on the international community and Greece is no different. They, like many other countries, have their own internal terrorism issues and ironically, most of these groups like November 17, Revolutionary People’s Struggle or Revolutionary Nuclei, are anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist

Terrorism is an act of violence, usually done in the public sphere, which is used to incite fear in a population in order to coerce change in public opinion or a government’s position on an issue. In many parts of the world, groups wage war with their countries, either to separate from the government or to overthrow it entirely. Sometimes these people are treated unfairly by their government, and their struggles are justified. Other times, these groups use violence against both military and civilian targets, terrorizing innocent bystanders to get what they want—these groups are terrorists. Often, though, it is difficult to tell the difference.

In our world today, it is unfortunate that people are using their hate as motivation to do immoral actions towards other innocent victims. In 2014, information was recorded by the Southern Poverty Law Center that there were around 784 active hate groups in the United States (Brunker par.4). A hate group is defined as a collection of people that promotes and performs aggressive actions towards members of a race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and many more characteristics. Ku Klux Klan, Neo Nazi, Black Separatist, and White Nationalist are all examples of hate groups and are still currently active today. Hate groups are usually involved in hate crimes which is any illegal action perceived to be against one specific group of people

Founded before the “Anarchist Wave”, The Ku Klux Klan is a white supremacist organization that has been in existence for over 150 years. They are mainly known today for their violent acts of rebel terrorism against the Christian, Jewish and African American communities. The Ku Klux Klan, or KKK, is made up of 3 separate movements that have been around for all “Four Waves of Rebel Terror”.

The second half of the twentieth century was a time of revolution in Latin America and Nicaragua was a country that was forever changed by that time period. The Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), also known as the Sandinistas, were an insurgency that was started by three college students who sought to overthrow a dictator and establish a Marxist style of government in the small central American country of Nicaragua. They learned from their defeats and learned how to be self-sufficient so that they could fight a long, protracted war. They were successful in their efforts and after eighteen years of conflict they overthrew a dictatorship and established a new government in their country.

AntiFa... here we go. Before I start, I must identify each group of the protesters and counterprotesters at Charolettesville. On the right, we have the Ku Klux Klan, the Neo-Nazis, and (believe it or not) regular people who just wanted to express their belief of wanting to keep up the Robert E. Lee statue. On the left, we have Black Lives Matter, AntiFa, and some regular people who wanted to express their belief on taking the Robert E. Lee statue down. I am simply listing each group, I would like that to be know. Not all of these groups participated in the violence. But I will surely identify who did.

The second case will be represented by nationalist terrorism. In this case study I will Identify and describe the groups involved. The terrorist group for this case study will be Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA). Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia was a Marxist-Leninist Armenian terrorist group was founded in 1975 with the intention of compelling the Turkish Government to acknowledge publicly its alleged responsibility for killing over 1.5 million innocent people in 1915. This was to territory for an Armenian homeland. The group 's initial bombing and assassination attacks were directed against Turkish targets and later French and Swiss targets to force release of imprisoned men. Around 1982 the Armenian terrorists established an underground cell in Toronto for the purpose of extorting money from Armenian-Canadians in order to raise funds for a projected campaign of insurgency in the Middle East. The case study I will be using will be the attacks On October 22, 1975 Turkish Ambassador in Austria, Danis Tunaligil was assassinated by three members of ASALA. Two days later, Turkish Ambassador in France, Ismail Erez and his chauffeur were killed. This case study is another great example of why the hypothesis from Joseph Margolin (1977: 273-4), "much terrorist behavior is a response to the frustration of various political, economic, and personal needs or objectives." is accurate. The political objectives were to force an end to

“Left-wing groups, generally profess a revolutionary socialist doctrine and view themselves as protectors of the people against the “dehumanizing effects” of capitalism and imperialism. They aim to bring about change in the United States and believe that this change can be realized through revolution rather than through the established political process.” (2002). You do not really hear much in the media in regards to a category for the type of extremists terrorizing our nation. The one that we are all familiar with, and even recently in London, is ISIS. Which ISIS is a militant group. The fact that there are groups that have so much determination and drive to better their country is great. Wanting to stand up for something they believe is

In addition, terrorist groups come from a failed country or a country who have had human rights issues by

Conflict between and within nations is proven by history to be expected, but the answer to which countries are at a higher risk for conflict depends on whom you are asking. The reading “Ethnicity, Insurgency and Civil War” by James D. Fearon and David D. Laitin, argues that the conditions that favour insurgency are better predictors of which countries are at risk for internal conflict. Determining which countries are at a higher risk depends on multiple logical factors for the perfect environment for rebellion to occur. These factors are based on the political, economic, and organization of the state in question. Fearon and Laitin dissect the formula for rebellion piece by piece over the course of the entire article. By the end it left me in

How Separatist Groups Have Had Little Success at Gaining Autonomy from the Country Which they are Currently a Part Of

In the 20th century, terrorism continued to be associated with a vast array of anarchist, socialist, fascist and nationalist groups, many of them engaged in ‘third world’
