The legitimacy of revolutionary violence, on a global level, to achieve justice

Abstract

 Abstract This study aims to understand the contemporary practice of what is called revolutionary violence, linked to what could be depicted as a counter-power, stemming from the political authority imposed on people. Although, this latter proclaims its commitment to integration, justice, and equality, the oppressed, marginalized, or even colonized peoples perceive it as a monopolistic power asking for absolute obedience. Consequently, many turn to revolutionary violence, seeking to overthrow the regime and justify the existence of this violence as a free institution, equal to the established authority. We are thus confronted with a complex duality that reveals a fundamental ontological conflict, which emerged from the crisis of political and economic conditions. This leads us to ask a question about the extent of its impact on the social and international context, as well as its influence on the citizen and the nation.
