anarchism and pacifism aren’t really directly related at all.
What do you mean? To my knowledge, before the hippie movement overtook it and completely depoliticized it, pacifism was a major branch of the anarchist movement. For example Emma Goldman spent quite some time in jail for her pacifist, anti-nation/anti-war activities during the first World War.
Also worth noting, pacifist does not mean strongly opposed to any form of violence. Most pacifist anarchists for instance understand collective self-defense to be perfectly acceptable when deescalating the conflict has failed.
sorry! i meant there’s no need to make a distinction of anarchopacifism a separate ideology, as pacifism doesn’t really limit or control the “type” of anarchism. you can be a pacifist anarcho-syndicalist or a pacifist “anarcho-capitalist” (blegh), but tbe pacifism itself doesn’t create a new form of anarchism
Alright, i take that back. i realized that pacifism does influence the type of anarchism, specifically through the means of creating the anarchism. anarchopacifism doesn’t necessarily conflict with other kinds, but definitely does count as its own ideology (as the creation of anarchy is as important as the anarchy itself)
