But the dog . what about the dog , uBigSexyPlant ? <| sep |> omg yesssEDIT what is spam ? <| sep |> Nelson Mandela was the leader of a major AntiApartheid organization . That in itself would be enough for people like the National Party to label him a terrorist . Mandela also founded MK , which was a covert military group who ' s sole purpose was to sabotage the government . I haven ' t hear about deaths , but MK was very good at attempting to avoid killing . Mandela and a few others also created a constitution which was seen as an act of treason , causing him to be labeled as a terrorist since he wanted to remove the ruling party . TLDR Mandela was against the power and wanted to remove it . People say his actions as provoking terror and causing violence , leading to him being called a terrorist . To be fair , some actions were explicitly to show what would happen if peaceful protest didnt gain power . Terrorism is very relative and depends on who is seeing it
