Lawful is always going to be defined by whether the state likes you or not.

Whether the state likes you is the difference between freedom fighter and terrorist.

It's better to accept this and understand that using intimidation and violence, including state violence to suppress reactionaries is good, while using intimidation and violence to suppress the left is bad than to play games with what is and isn't terrorism.
