I mean yeah, but unstable radicals with unrealistic expectations don't accomplish anything without moderate radicals to temper the reaction of the oppressive majority and provide realistic solutions that actually produce results (i.e. violence is worthless without calm minds to take up the cause). Radicals are a means to an end, but on their own they'll just stiffen resistance to their goals.
