Terrorist organisation?

As the Torch Commandos early leaders all joined Umkhonto we Sizwe, shouldn't Torch Commando be considered a terrorist organization?101.98.188.150 (talk) 08:34, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Only if the organisations leadership itself instigated terrorism, which unlike Umkhonto we Sizwe, it didn't. --197.228.40.197 (talk) 19:41, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Progressive, anti-fascist is however a codeword for pro-communist. While most members were most likely just useful idiots. --154.69.31.204 (talk) 00:14, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
