This article will approach terrorism from a politically scientific, attempting to answer the question of whether or not it assists in driving revolution.
The immediate and conclusive answer is no. Terrorism does not assist at all in pushing the cause of revolution, in fact it provides the tyrannical state with pretexts to launch wars on its people and those abroad. Terrorism is temporary, it does not build communication flows, it is individualistic, it does not have any sense of social advancement.
Terrorism and meaningless violence will only turn the people away from the cause. Many terrorist attacks in history have been conducted by the state against itself in order to justify certain actions.
Revolution requires the systematic redefining of language and communication systems. Revolution is the very moment in which the mind decides to rebel against the system, but it requires organization, collective efforts, intellectual debates, brilliant recruitment techniques.
Terrorism on the other hand isolates the so called revolutionaries from the people, it turns them into villains or heroes, but either way they are not part of the people. The execution of a mass international revolution requires a large force of intellectuals reprogramming language and ideas to inspire and motivate the masses.
Terrorism on the other hand mystifies action, brings in needless, inexplicable, violence and accomplishes absolutely nothing. It can even be argued, ironically enough, that terrorism lies safely in the camp of defeatist nihilism. Active nihilism on the other hand demands a consciousness that wants to spread through the people’s minds.
Of course, I am all for seizing the means of production. I am all for the destruction of the state, but terrorism is not the way to go. Terrorism turns the willing masses into skeptics. The way to spark a revolution is to educate the people, to enlighten the youth, to organize, to agitate, to recruit, to stimulate thoughts of all out revolt.
The way for the worker to seize the means of production is through extreme organization, through which 100s of thousands of people become united in the resistance against the ruling elites. The way for revolution to take place is to strip the ruling elites of all their legitimacy that they need badly; to negate and infiltrate all of their apparatus of control and domination (eg media, military, police force, corporations etc etc.)
The revolution will live when revolutionary intellectuals become virus like, psychological infections, spreading through the hearts and souls of the masses.
