Adventurism/terrorism is ineffective in the imperial core, and all those groups prove it. Some of them operated for decades and none of them even moved the needle in the class struggle. Not to say they weren’t brave and principled comrades, just that the historical lesson we should learn from them is it’s just not an effective tactic (communists were writing about this as early as the start of the 20th century).
There’s actually an interesting discussion in that IRA thread about the difference between terrorism in a colonial context vs terrorism in the core, something Fanon wrote about.
The blast sent Blanco and his car 20 metres (66 ft) into the air and over the five-story church, landing on the second-floor terrace of the opposite side. :che-laugh:

All that said, N17 were pretty bad ass.
You gotta admit the assassination of Blanco was pretty damn impressive tho.
