organized armed rebellion against authority
A long, organized fight with weapons by a group of people who want to remove a government or other authority.
Модель употребления:
an insurgency against [a government/authority]
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes use "insurgency" for any kind of protest or disagreement. In standard use, "insurgency" almost always involves organized groups using weapons or violence against a government or authority over time. For simple protests without weapons, words like "protest" or "demonstration" are more appropriate.
Синонимы
insurrection (Often slightly more formal or legal; focuses strongly on the act of rising up against authority, sometimes without emphasizing the long, ongoing conflict.)
Антонимы
loyalty (Describes support and obedience to a government or authority instead of rebellion against it.)

strong organized challenge to a system
A strong, organized effort by a group to change or remove people in power or an old system, sometimes used in business or politics without real fighting.
Модель употребления:
an insurgency within [a party/organization/system]
Частая ошибка:
Learners may overextend this figurative meaning and use "insurgency" for any small change or new idea. In figurative use, it still suggests a strong, organized challenge to people or systems in power, not just normal competition or simple disagreement.
Синонимы
rebellion (Can be physical or purely political; often slightly broader and more general, not always suggesting armed conflict in this figurative use.)
Антонимы
establishment (Refers to the existing powers and institutions that an insurgency tries to challenge or replace.)
