A militant person must always use a violent tactic or tactics in pursuit of an aim, or that s/he unilaterally 'believes in violence' (in the pejorative sense) or is 'a violent person'. A militant in fact usually uses a range of tactics, including peaceful or semi-peaceful ones, when trying to achieve an end. The main difference between a militant and a non-militant is the militant's willingness to actively use violence when s/he considers it necessary. |
