    Personally, i argue for a diversity of tactics. If you stand in solidarity with folks engaging in sabotage and other direct actions, then i believe you have a place here.

    “It’s not strategic” and other bullshit reflections i leave to the marxist-leninist vanguards. Anti-authoritarian communists, let’s unite! Our enemies are the State, the Corporations, the Patriarchs, the White supremacists and Colonizers… not other anarchists from a different branch.

    Likewise, i encourage people engaging in more violent action to not judge pacifist comrades who do not feel like it. Virilist judgement of raw might and courage is definitely not my vision of anarchism, either.

      There’s no reason for anarchists and anarcho-comunists to be enemies, especially if you are on the pacifist side of things.

      Personally i reject most types of violence because it only breeds more volence.

        What difference do you make between “anarchists” and “anarcho-communists”? Apart from nihilists, i don’t know any branch of anarchism that would not fall into communism as well.

      absolutely. i am a pacifist but do not count sabotage or destruction of obejcts/private property as violence. self defense is iffy, i see it as morally wrong but a necessary evil anyway

        I am the ones agaisnt every of that. I prefer to improve pure-defense and measures to prevent negative effects including but not limited to isolation of places, personal protection equipment, etc.

      I can be patient and believe that people can change so I may involve time on that.
