are executions murder, though?
I mean, yes? Although generally speaking, the word execution is reserved for cases where they've been deemed to deserve it.
For example, most of the executions ordered during the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution were simply murders of people who were even suspected of dissent.
Specifically, it's when it's sanctioned through the legal system (as opposed to murders, including state-sanctioned but extra-judicial killings)
So I think executions are not murder by definition
I personally believe so, at least. I guess whether the murder can be justified or not is a separate question.
