Actions are not inherently right or wrong so the same applies to political violence. If you want to rephrase this question so as to allow for subjective interpretations the answers posted would be more interesting, I imagine.

What a load of pseudointellectual bollocks. 'Actions are not inherently right or wrong' my foot. Murder is inherently wrong. Rape is inherently wrong. Robbing someone at gunpoint is inherently wrong. Giving a four year old a pack of razorblades to play with is inherently wrong. If you genuinely think otherwise you aren't a great intellect, but a sociopath (and also an insufferable windbag, but we knew that anyway).

I'm sorry, I guess I didn't realize it's impossible to be a constructivist and have a moral compass at the same time?

You're a Soviet artist from the 1920s?

It is also a concept used in the social sciences

Where conventionally at least it is always prefaced with 'social' and is, for the record, a dismal pile of (thankfully) discredited twaddle.

I surprised nearly half of those polled dig "political violence." I thought Atlas was more liberal than that.

Atlas is currently full of armchair revolutionaries.
