Doesn't it just mean political violence?

Terrorism?

No.

Terrorism is the targeting of uninvolved civilians to spread fear for political purposes among the population at large. It can get a bit blurry but I'm not afraid of being assassinated for denying healthcare.

Are you?

Now if we want to talk about how carpet or drone bombing campaigns are terrorism that's an interesting conversation but the system is just doing what's it's designed to do, protect the oligarchy no matter what.
