An '''insurgency''' is usually defined as a state of [[revolt]] against established authority.  It is generally considered to be more organized and widespread than a [[cabal]] or an [[underground]] movement.  The modern example used most often is the [[Iraq]] war, in which several insurgent groups are fighting the established government, however, an insurgency does not have to refer to armed revolt.  The term is also used in political circles to describe dissent within a political party. <ref>http://www.m-w.com</ref>
