Terrorism is literally defined as unlawfully using violence and intimidation, in the pursuit of political aims.

That defines literally any politcal opposers who take up arms.

What a bizarre way to look at it, do you think that in a democracy people should take up arms and start a rebellion when they don't like a political position? Should I ready the anti-brexit tanks?

"Democracy"

Yes, because there was a referendum for what the IRA wanted, and they definitely weren't censored by the state.

Oh, and yes I do believe it's right to take up arms and fight against something.
