Terrorism

Terrorism is a political philosophy and tactic which is based on using terror to achieve political objectives. This is based on using violence against government or civilian targets to make the government conform to their demands.

The term "Terrorism" originated during the French Revolution, but its use became widespread during the 20th century with the emergence of various terrorist groups in the world.

Terrorism is not within a specific position within the Political Compass, because it is an ideology that can be used by anyone regardless of their ideology.
