Originally, militants fought with weapons to defend their ideas.

Today, however, a militant isn’t necessarily violent.

Just as well, because they’re all around us. The person handing out flyers for a candidate in an election… is a militant!

So are all people in politics militants?

No, not all! In a political party, there are different roles.

For example, the leaders. They get paid to put forward ideas and take decisions. That’s their job.
