impartial

'just' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

'one militant will seize power' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'militant' becomes 'martial' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'will seize' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'power' becomes 'p' (symbol in physics).
'martial' placed around 'p' is 'mpartial'.
'i'+'mpartial'='IMPARTIAL'

Can you help me to learn more?
