I mean, it’s usually used to undermine a cause by killing their leaders, but their death can also cause them to become a martyr and get even more support. Which is generally true for the majority of assassinations?

Why I asked? Because recent events in Ecuador got me wondering.

    Depends how strong the movement really is. It can produce a martyr or it can produce a chilling effect. Some assassinations aren’t even of overly successful movements.
