Anarcho-Pacifism

Anarcho-Pacifism, referred to by the abbreviation AnPac, is an economically socialist or communist, culturally ambivalent and anarchist ideology that advocates for the use of non-violent action to facilitate the abolition of the state and capitalism. Anarcho-pacifists believe that the use of violent force stands contrary to the anti-hierarchial principle of anarchism, as a group using force to topple a hierarchy has not eliminated it, but established itself at the head of it.

Anarcho-pacifist 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. Despite significant anarcho-pacifist thinkers citing Thoreau as an influence, Thoreau himself did not subscribe to pacifism.

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.

Friends

 * [[File: Anrel.png]] Religious Anarchism - Anpac gets along very well with Religious Anarchism, since Christian Anarchism is Anarcho-Pacifism.
 * [[File: Farm.png]] Agrarianism - If he wasn't friends with Anarcho-Primitivism, Anpac would be closer with him. However, industrialism is pretty violent, and agrarianism is more peaceful.

Frenemies

 * [[File: Apolit.png]] Apoliticism - Always nice to AnPac and invites her to cookouts, but doesn't want to upset the status quo.

Enemies

 * [[File: Necon.png]] Neoconservatism - Likes the state, strong military and traditional values.
