Talk:List of guerrilla movements

Untitled

Historical guerilla movements have been removed. The editor commented that including them would require the US revolutionaries to be listed: I suggest that

1. listing historical guerilla movements is interesting, and
2. surely the early US revolutionaries were exactly that, and belong here?

"Guerilla" should be a value-neutral descriptive term, with no implication of "bad guys" or "good guys". The Anome

The early U.S. revolutionaries were politicans and lawyers. When conflict came with Great Britian, the core of the resistance were existing state militias, which fought under the laws of war. After that, the Continental Congress formed an army. The only guerilla movement would be Francis Marion's actions in South Carolina. -- GABaker

Thanks for enlightening me. Let's put Francis Marion in here -- I've learned something. The Anome

How is ETA a guerrilla movement and modern IRA or Brigate Rosse are not listed? I don't see much difference. I put a similar question under Talk:Guerrilla -- Error 02:00 Apr 17, 2003 (UTC)

The following Irish guerrilla movements have been added:

• Provisional IRA - island of Ireland
• Irish National Liberation Army - island of Ireland
• Ulster Defence Association - Northern Ireland
• Red Hand Defenders - Northern Ireland
• Continuity IRA - island of Ireland
• Real IRA - island of Ireland

The P.IRA, INLA, C.IRA and R.IRA operated throughout the island, killing security forces in both the Republic and Nothern Ireland. The remainder operated exclusively or almost exclusively in Northern Ireland, hence the references. Though the various IRAs and the INLA did carry out attacks in Great Britain, the number was relatively small. ÉÍREman 02:24 Apr 17, 2003 (UTC)

guerrilla movements definition

How are we defining the difference between guerrilla movements and terrorists. In ordder to do this in a NPOV way we need an article defining guerrilla movements in the same waay as there is an article defining terrorism. --JK the unwise 11:06, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I suggest the difference is that terrorist direct their attention to police/civilians but guerrillas attack armed forces? Saga City 16:38, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)

That is not totally clear, there's lot's of space for interpretation....Terrorists can use guerrilla tactics (hit and run, etc.) and guerrillas can use terrorist tactics (attacking the civilian population indiscriminately and so on). There's already an article on what is meant by the term guerrilla, in any case. Juancarlos2004 20:44, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

IRA, Chechen Resistance, INLA etc... almost always went for combatants, while UVF, ETA, Hamas targetted civilians on religous / political grounds. --86.42.87.25 02:19, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Is this only about current guerilla movements?

what about historical guerilla movements? should it be included here or in a seperate article? Idleguy 11:45, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

ETA is a terrorist band, not a guerrillero group. It is at list of Europen Union of terrorits band.

ive noticed there is no clearification on active and non-active guerilla movements here on this page.can some one put up the dates of the formation of the movments, and when they ended or why they where ended and if they are still active?maybe also put thier idealism next to thier names.thanks and peace(Slipoutside (talk) 04:33, 27 June 2008 (UTC))

Re: whether ETA is a guerrilla movement or a terrorist band -- in many cases, the distinction is a value judgement about the motives and/or techniques of the organized armed movement in question. I would consider ETA a guerrilla movement and in the same company as the IRA and many other organizations on this list.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vrrkik440 (talk • contribs) 21:00, 29 October 2016 (UTC) 

BLM is not a guerrilla organization

Black Lives Matter is NOT a guerrilla organization, even considering the "value neutral" intention of the team. It is not organized as an Army as the FMLN, FSLN, ORPA, etc. are or were. It is more of a defuse movement of diverse efforts to address excess police use of force toward African Americans, and the range of social realities that people see as contributing toward that. As the women's movement was directed at changing the treatment of women broadly in society, through diverse strategies and using diverse analyses. Black Lives Matter should not be included on this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vrrkik440 (talk • contribs) 20:57, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
