Article
This article is a real propaganda page. There is nothing more to say. -- Avatar9n - 23 January 2012, 19:17 (UTC)
I think there is a problem with the objectivity on this article. It shows also because of the Revert Ban. I'd like to propose a change, as adviced in the warning message when editing: The picture top right says 'FARC terrorists Colombia'. I think this is too easy. The FARC is in a war and a non-acknoledged guerrilla-army. Therefore I propose changing 'terrorists' into 'guerillas'. WithDefiance (talk) 23:23, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
- WithDefiance: I have removed the image. We do not describe FARC as a terrorist group in Wikipedia voice (MOS:TERRORIST). --MarioGom (talk) 23:52, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
terrorism or political violence
The articles about Left-Wing, Communist, Right-Wing and Islam, etc. are named "terrorism" while for Zionist "political violence" is used. All describe terrorist attacks as defined as in the Wikipedia article about terrorism ("Terrorism is, in the broadest sense, the use of intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create terror among masses of people; or fear to achieve a religious or political aim. , see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism). We either have to change all to terrorism or all to political violence, everything else would not be neutral.

- We go by what sources use. Generally they reserve the term terrorism to refer to actions by non-state actors even when they carry out similar actions for similar aims. There are of course a minority of scholars who see no distinction. TFD (talk) 02:01, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
- I agred with the first statement. While sources can be (and usually are) biased and non-neutral — and their use often reflect users' agendas —, it is in sharp contrast with the declared purpose of Wikipedia. It should be noted that there are two articles with accusations against the International Communist Movement (one about "Mass killings" under communist regimes and the other one about "Crimes against humanity") and not a single one with such accusation against imperialist, Zionist, fascist, or otherwise reactionary regimes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.247.81.214 (talk) 00:17, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
