Lenin (also once portrayed by Patrick Stewart) takes a dim view of terrorism. He makes compelling arguments arguments terrorist tactics in "What Is To Be Done". Also it should be noted that Lenin's brother tried employing terrorism in an effort to bring on a people's revolution. His efforts were much less fruitful than Lenin's.
The context of the episode is that the leader of a separatist resistance with 200 members and at least 5000 supports kidnapped Dr. Crusher because they were being oppressed by a government that was a trade partner with the federation. The kinldnapping made it a direct Starfleet affair and not just a diplomatic Federation one they could just ignore while reading with an oppressive regime in contradiction with their chartered ethics. People gotta watch the episode before talking.
