'''''Anpacball''','' (full name '''''Anarcho-Pacifismball'''''), is an ideology inhabiting a variable position the bottom of the political compass that advocates for non-violent abolition of the state, Capitalism, and establishment to a peaceful stateless society. Her beliefs are most strongly based in the writings of Henry David Thoreau, Leo Tolstoy, and Mahatma Gandhi. Anpac is opposed to all forms of violence, and believes that a revolution can be achieved through peaceful means. Her cultural ideas mirror those of many of her siblings, believing in feminism, LGBTQ+ rights, and civil rights in general. She is often associated with [[File: Anrel.png]] [[Religious Anarchismball]], though not always. Anpac is mostly focused on the means of the revolution itself instead of ideological particulars like her brothers [[File: Ancom.png]] [[Anarcho-Communismball|Anarcho-Communism]] or [[File: AnSynd.png]] [[Anarcho-Syndicalismball|Anarcho-Syndicalism]].

'''Anarcho-Pacifism''', referred to by the abbreviation '''AnPac''', is an economically usually left, [[File:Prgess.png]] [[:Category:Culturally Left|culturally left]] and [[File:Awaj.png]] [[Anarchism|anarchist]] ideology that advocates for the use of non-violent action to facilitate the abolition of the state.


== Stylistic Notes ==
AnPac believes that the use of violent force stands contrary to the anti-hierarchical principle of [[File:Awaj.png]] [[:Category:Anarchists|Anarchism]], as a group using force to topple a hierarchy has not eliminated it, but established itself at the head of it. Instead, AnPac favors general strikes and other forms of nonviolent revolution such as hacktivism. Despite popular belief, AnPac generally does not favor electoralism and will be ''mildly unhappy'' if another character says he does.
Anpac is often depicted as being timid, shy, and/or generally "soft" when compared to her siblings. Her pacifist nature makes her an easy target for bullying, and she ''very'' rarely steps up to defend herself. Anpac is often depicted as sad or embarrassed.


== How to draw ==
AnPac thought is predominantly based in the writings of [[File:Envi.png]] [[w:Henry David Thoreau|Henry David Thoreau]], [[File:Anarchristian.png]] [[w:Leo Tolstoy|Leo Tolstoy]], and [[File:Ghandi.png]] [[w:Mahatma Gandhi|Mahatma Gandhi]], and serves as a core tenet in most variants of [[File:Anrel.png]] [[Religious Anarchism]]<ref>Christoyannopoulos, Alexandre. (March 2010). [https://web.archive.org/web/20110812071723/http://www.psa.ac.uk/journals/pdf/5/2010/1338_1226.pdf "A Christian Anarchist Critique of Violence: From Turning the Other Cheek to a Rejection of the State"]. Political Studies Association. Archived on 2011-08-12.</ref>. However, Anarcho-Pacifism '''need not be religious'''. Religion may be a grounds for seeking peaceful revolution as opposed to violent revolution, but secular anarchists can support nonviolent revolution. Despite significant anarcho-pacifist thinkers citing Thoreau as an influence, Thoreau himself did not subscribe to pacifism<ref>Meyer, Michael. (1980). [https://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/30228175?uid=3739832&uid=2129&uid=2&uid=70&uid=4&uid=3739256&sid=21104259840033 "Thoreau's Rescue of John Brown from History" Studies in the American Renaissance], pp. 301–316</ref>.
Drawing Anpacball is very simple:
# Draw a ball
# Draw a line in a lighter shade of black diagonally through the ball
# Fill the space below with the same color as the line
# Add the eyes, and you're done!
# You can also add details like blush lines, which are fitting with his characterization.

Despite AnPac's peaceful nature, some of its praxis can be described as somewhat radical. AnPac has been known to [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/sep/04/protesters-britain-biggest-arms-fair-east-london-docklands-dsei disrupt arms fairs] and hold large 'anti-war' protests.


== Relations ==
Although the people attending these events are not ideologically Anarchist or even identify as such, the praxis of these demonstrations can be described as 'anti-statist' and anarchist in nature.

Despite having no defined economic position, the anarcho-pacifist and broader peace movements can be associated strongly with socialist, environmentalist and LGBT movements. However, there are economically right-wing anarcho-pacifists such as [[w:Adam_Kokesh|Adam Kokesh]].

Anpac was alone in a room, crying to herself about how she gets made fun of for being pacifist, when Ancap walks in. Ancap figures that she hasn't violated the NAP (and won't, considering she's pacifist), and so Ancap invites her to his house and offers to not charge rent (a very big deal with Ancapball). They live together for a while, and, after some events transpire, Ancap's house is McNuked. In the aftermath, Ancap tells Anpac he loves her.

Anarcho-Pacifism, referred to by the abbreviation AnPac, is an economically usually left, culturally left and anarchist ideology that advocates for the use of non-violent action to facilitate the abolition of the state.

AnPac believes that the use of violent force stands contrary to the anti-hierarchical principle of Anarchism, as a group using force to topple a hierarchy has not eliminated it, but established itself at the head of it. Instead, AnPac favors general strikes and other forms of nonviolent revolution such as hacktivism. Despite popular belief, AnPac generally does not favor electoralism and will be mildly unhappy if another character says he does.

AnPac thought is predominantly based in the writings of Henry David Thoreau, Leo Tolstoy, and Mahatma Gandhi, and serves as a core tenet in most variants of Religious Anarchism[1]. However, Anarcho-Pacifism need not be religious. Religion may be a grounds for seeking peaceful revolution as opposed to violent revolution, but secular anarchists can support nonviolent revolution. Despite significant anarcho-pacifist thinkers citing Thoreau as an influence, Thoreau himself did not subscribe to pacifism[2].

Despite AnPac's peaceful nature, some of its praxis can be described as somewhat radical. AnPac has been known to disrupt arms fairs and hold large 'anti-war' protests.

Although the people attending these events are not ideologically Anarchist or even identify as such, the praxis of these demonstrations can be described as 'anti-statist' and anarchist in nature.

Despite having no defined economic position, the anarcho-pacifist and broader peace movements can be associated strongly with socialist, environmentalist and LGBT movements. However, there are economically right-wing anarcho-pacifists such as Adam Kokesh.

Personality and Behavior

Anarcho-Pacifism appears in comics as a timid, conflict-averse individual who is often seen haplessly trying to defuse conflicts between its ideological relatives. Other common depictions feature it as an everyman or neutral character with a professional demeanor, in a similar manner to Apoliticism and Moderatism.

Comic appearances

A female Anarcho-Pacifism is one of two main characters in Reddit user hydratedbirb's AnPac x AnCap comic series, which explores the budding romantic relationship between the two seemingly-incompatible anarchist ideologies. Unfortunately, this series aged pretty badly. Hydratedbirb's reddit account has also been deleted.

There was a running reddit gag that made Anarcho-Pacifism more aligned with Anarcho-Capitalism than the other anarchist balls, this is usually not the case as generally, (1) Anarcho-Pacifism is a revolutionary ideology and (2) Anarcho-Pacifism doesn't agree with the hierarchical social structure of anarcho-capitalism even if the NAP may sound pacifist.

How To Draw

Flag of Anarcho-Pacifism
  1. Draw a ball with eyes,
  2. Draw a black diagonal line from the lower left to the upper right of the ball,
  3. Color the upper half of the ball white and the lower half black.

  • Anarcho-Communism - I hate the cops as much as you do, but coordinated tax evasion is a much better strategy than beating them over the head, which is to say, I'm not often a fan of your means, but your goal seems nice enough.
  • Existentialist Anarchism - Some of your followers support me, but I still don't like your rejection of morality.

Not friends

  • Neoconservatism - So your plan is to enforce the will of the state upon other nations through strong military force, so that they then bolster your forces when you're trying to enforce the will of the state upon other nations?
  • Trotskyism - Same as above, but socialist.
  • Posadism - So your plan is to inflict one of the worst possible genocides that falls short of instant human extinction for everlasting peace? You make the last guy sound halfway sane...
  • Insurrectionary Anarchism - At least when the state does violence it has an end-goal in mind! You're just violent for the sake of it!
  • Illegalism - Same as above, but worse.
  • Hindutva - Why did you murder him?
  • Reactionary Socialism - I still don't get how socialism is compatible with feudalism...
  • Mercantilism & Jacksonian Democracy - My entire identity is shaped from rejecting your authoritarian jerkishness.
  • Chomskyism - Your self-described anarchism and anti-war stance makes me inclined to like you more, but I just can't ignore your REALLY bad habit of downplaying the crimes of tyrannical dictators just because they don't like America. It makes me seriously question to what degree you're really an anarchist...
  • Anarcho-Nihilism - I hope you realize one day that the world really isn't so bad of a place. Also, why are most of you so violent?
  • State Atheism - Yes, religions have been used to justify some pretty awful things in the past, but have you ever thought that they can also hold some very real value and wisdom if you look closer? And this goes without saying, but persecuting innocent people is a very not good thing to do.

Meanies who I don't like (pweese don't hurt me!!)
