ĭavid Brannan writes that left-wing terrorists and insurgents tend not to engage in indiscriminate attacks on the public as it not only runs contrary to the socialist ideals they espouse of being protectors of the working class, but they also do not want to alienate large swaths of the working population as such organizations and individuals seek to gain their support. Since the nationalist sentiment is fueled by socio-economic conditions, some separatist movements, including the Basque ETA, the Provisional Irish Republican Army and the Irish National Liberation Army, incorporated communist and socialist ideology into their policies. Nevertheless, many on the revolutionary left have shown solidarity for national liberation groups employing terrorism, such as Irish nationalists, the Palestine Liberation Organization and the South American Tupamaros, seeing them as engaged in a global struggle against capitalism. They suggest that rigidity of the demands of left-wing terrorists may explain their lack of support relative to nationalist groups. They argue that the revolutionary goal of left-wing terrorism is non-negotiable whereas nationalist terrorists are willing to make concessions. Īccording to Sarah Brockhoff, Tim Krieger and Daniel Meierrieks, while left-wing terrorism is ideologically motivated, nationalist-separatist terrorism is ethnically motivated. Narodnaya Volya, a 19th-century terrorist group that killed Tsar Alexander II of Russia in 1881 and developed the concept of propaganda of the deed, is a major influence. Left-wing terrorists have been influenced by various communist and socialist currents, including Marxism. 2.4.9 Revolutionary People's Liberation Party/Front.2.4.8 Revolutionary Organization 17 November.2.4.3 First of October Anti-Fascist Resistance Groups.2.3.2 Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist).2.3.1 Communist Party of India (Maoist) and Naxalites.
