If a people feel oppressed, they have no standing army or weaponry, and terrorism is bad, how can they fight?

Answer 1

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi managed to do it. Look to his philosophy.

Answer 2

If i'm reading your question correctly, then it seems to have two possiblities, if you are talking about, invading or fighting a foreign army then they are in for an uphill battle which they probably cannot win, under your guidelines. However if you are talking about a people oppressed by their own government then they can win, and this is how: A government operates by its ability to redirect the productive capacity of its individual people this is generally done by either regulating them or by directly taking resources through taxation, this money is then taken and spent not only to advance their projects, but to further solidify their control over the populace. The way to defeat them is simple stop producing, stop granting them the ability to direct your productive capacity, and hence your mind. no amount of force has ever produced a single weapon, it takes a mind to do that, you can't point a weapon at iron ore and make it turn into a gun. It is the populace that provides it masters with the tools to do so, which furthers emboldens the masters to believe that they can do it. This principal applies however to all modern societies, for we are all enslaved to some measure. A slave is defined as one who produces while another disposes of that product. And unfortunately the globe is suffused with that principal, for we all turn over high percentages by force to imposed authorities, and being permitted to choose a new master in a term of years does not make you any less enslaved. In fact most of us have no idea how much we actually are taxed but add the taxes all up: income, state, municipal, sales, property, manufacturing, various resource taxes, luxury, inflation, duties, subsidies, quotas...etc. We all hand this over under force or the threat of force, and if we chose to say no we would be locked up and if we refused, we would be forcibly locked up, and if we resisted, they would attempt to subdue you escatling up to killing you if you continued to successfully resist them. Again ti reiterate the answer. Stop producing for your own enslavers, do not grant them your sanction.

Answer 3

The methods used to gain victory are irrelevant. They don't even reveal anything about the justice of the cause or what kind of people will rule if victory comes through terrorism. The point is whether the cause is good. So I have nothing against terrorists as terrorists; I just think that Islam offers only slavery, poverty, and the supremacy of the unfittest.

Answer 4

Not quite, several groups have asked for help to the un and have been listened but ignored, like the palestines and ruwandans, they have screamed their plight for years and whenever they get a positive resolution it is simply ignored by the ones against it and, because it usually its a powerful nation they go unpunished, like, remember that time the us actually invaded and conquered a small country named iraq even when the un said they shouldnt?

and the ghandi mehtod only serves if you have enough political leverage to make the media to pay attention, that was the strenght of his revolution, otherwise you just get massacred

Answer 5

Let's put it this way, if another country, say China, invaded the USA, the people who fought against the Chinese invaders would be called "freedom Fighters" or "Patriots". But the Chinese invaders would referr to them as "Insurgents" or "Terrorists".
See how that works?
That's why the Iraqi people and most of the rest of the world, call the "insurgents" by the correct term; Freedom Fighters.

Answer 6

Terrorism is attacks against non-beligerent parties (aged, women, children). True partisans would attack the occupying army and it's collaborators while trying to recruit people to the justice of their cause.

Since I assume you are talking about Iraq, the terrorists don't deserve respect because most are not Iraqis. They also don't care about "collateral damage" of the Iraqi people who just want to get to market and home.

Answer 7

It's important to know your history. Read up on the Boxer Rebellion. They lacked weapons, see what happened.

Answer 8

In large numbers , covertly , ask the un to help .

Answer 9
