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 anarcho-capitalism's hierarchical social structure 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.
Color Name HEX RGB
White #FFFFFF 255, 255, 255
Black #141414 20, 20, 20

Best Friends

Friends (most of the time)

  • Apoliticism - Always nice to me and invites me to cookouts, but doesn't want to upset the status quo. Says I'm "better than the other anarchists".
  • Libertarianism - Is also anti-war and anti-authoritarian, but doesn't realize that capitalism is coercive, likes owning, and selling weapons. Nor does he fully reject the state, either. Shame.
  • Isolationism - You are against wars and imperialism, which is awesome! However, why won't you see that refusing to accept other cultures is inherently oppressive?!
  • Agrarianism - Anprim can get a little violent on occasion and you're close with him. An agrarian system could potentially lead to less large-scale violence, as commodities would more likely be produced and controlled locally, however he might have a hard time with violence inside the community.
  • Anarcho-Capitalism - Your NAP is a good premise, but capitalism leaves the door open for a lot of indirect violence not covered by the NAP, if a company town forms and one day an employee upsets their boss, starving them would not be directly aggressive, but I'd argue it's still violent.
  • 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.

Dubious, to say the least

  • 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!
  • Social Darwinism - Humans, on their own, are glass, only through cooperation and civilization are we a strong species.
  • Hindu Theocracy - Why did you murder him?
  • Reactionary Socialism - I still don't get how socialism is compatible with feudalism...
  • Stratocracy - Bad doggy!
  • 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...

Enemies, but I don't hate them (although you guys are big meanies that MIGHT deserve violence... oh, but PWEESE don’t hurt me!😢)
