The People's War

The People's War is a strategy where ordinary civilians and guerrilla fighters mobilize widespread resistance against an occupying or oppressive force, aiming to wear down the enemy over time. It relies on popular support, flexibility, and the ability to operate within communities, making traditional military tactics less effective. By integrating civilian efforts with insurgency actions, the goal is to weaken the opponent’s morale and resources gradually. Historically, this approach has been used to challenge colonial powers or authoritarian regimes, emphasizing the importance of mass participation and asymmetric warfare to achieve political ends.
