Most global guerrilla groups have become increasingly focused on economic insurgency to the detriment of ideological motivations. The reasons are obvious: guerrillas that are economically able to self-finance are much more likely to survive long term and gain favor with local populations – this income provides the means for the legitimacy jiu-jitsu necessary to create temporary autonomous zones (TAZs). The coming boom in black globalization will catalyze the spread of these groups even into areas in the West previously assumed immune. Unfortunately, unlike purely criminal organizations in the classic mold, these armed groups will actively compete with nation-states for local legitimacy.
