I don't disagree with any of that, but the way you phrase it seems to imply that any and all actions taken by the oppressed group are inherently justified. Is that the case, or would you say that there are still limits?

I'm not interested in justification, that sidelines the root causes of the issue. If the violent actions of the oppressed are concerning, which is a completely understandable position, the focus still needs to center on the violent actions of the oppressor (the root cause) which are also magnitudes worse both in brutality and scale.

I don't personally agree with every action every resistance has ever done, but that doesn't matter. If I want an end to the violence, which I do, I know the focus of my attention needs to be on ending the root cause of the violence.

This has been the case with every anti-colonialist movement. Ireland, Vietnam, Algeria, ect. Something Franz Fanon has studied, understood, and explained incredibly well.
