Man’s Fate: In Response to Professor Hanley

Terrorism and Revolution: Kyo
(Continued)

Kyo advocates the ideals of the revolution. Ferral asks “ ‘And how many revolutionaries who can do something besides talk?’ ” (82). Trotsky argues that one’s fear is disempowering and disabling, and destroys the integrity of the struggle. Kyo, emotionally reconciled, has elevated his level of commitment with his death: “To die is passivity, but to kill oneself is action” (318).
