Guerrilla warfare

Guerrilla warfare is a form of irregular warfare in which a small group of combatants such as paramilitary personnel, armed civilians, or irregulars use military tactics including ambushes, sabotage, raids, petty warfare, hit-and-run tactics, and mobility to fight a larger and less-mobile traditional military.

Etymology

The term, the diminutive form of "war" in Spanish, is usually translated as "little war", and the word, guerrilla (Spanish pronunciation: [ɡeˈriʎa]), has been used to refer to the concept since the 18th century, and perhaps earlier. In correct Spanish usage, a person who is a member of a guerrilla is a guerrillero ([ɡeriˈʎeɾo]) if male, or a guerrillera if female. This term became popular during the Peninsular War, when the Spanish people rose against the Napoleonic troops and fought against a highly superior army using the guerrilla strategy.

The term "guerrilla" was used in English as early as 1809, to refer to the fighters (e.g., "The town was taken by the guerrillas"), and also (as in Spanish) to denote a group or band of such fighters. However, in most languages guerrilla still denotes the specific style of warfare. The use of the diminutive evokes the differences in number, scale, and scope between the guerrilla army and the formal, professional army of the state.

    A Call To Arms

    by: Guerilla

    Excited voice, despairing face
    The fooled working man
    Another life another world
    Compared with discount chinese slaves
    Your location's down the drain
    Another life another world
    But what a shame can't hear your claim
    National screams won't make this system stop
    So tick tick tack let's blow it up
    Fighters fighters
    Freedom fighters
    Get ready! The time is right
    For freedom fighters
    Woke up from the illusion
    Of a faked wonderland
    Another life another world
    People are the plaything
    In economic hands
    Another life another world
    But there's another way believe in what i say
    Subsidies won't make this system stop
    So tick tick tack let' blow it up
    Cowardly unions, clowns of the capital
    Aren't the right partners if your back's against the
    wall
    Reformistic demands call for cosmetic but not for a
    solution
    The tobin tax is not the social revolution
    ... which is welcome
    Why being content with one peanut
    When a whole can is waiting for you
    Deciding is to take it
    That's all we have to do
