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 Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination 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 Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Henry David Thoreau, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Leo Tolstoy, and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Mahatma Gandhi, and serves as a core tenet in most variants of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination 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 Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Apoliticism and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination 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 Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destinationAnarcho-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.
