Insurgencies committed to a radical end state often seek to achieve profound societal changes, such as the establishment of a theocratic state, a communist regime, or the imposition of extreme nationalist ideologies. Examples include ISIS, which aims to create a caliphate governed by strict interpretations of Islamic law, and Maoist insurgencies, which seek to overthrow existing governments to establish a classless society. Other notable examples include the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, which pursued an independent Tamil Eelam, and various far-left groups that aim for revolutionary socialism. These movements typically employ violence and terrorism as tools to achieve their ideological goals.
