Additional quotes by Peter Gelderloos

It seems that the only form of violence [pacifists] consistently oppose is rebellion against the state.

The goal of our criticism should be solidarity, not homogeneity.

The tendencies of pacifism toward negotiation and centralization facilitate efforts by the state to manipulate and co-opt rebellious social movements; they also make it easier for the state to repress a movement, if it decides there is a need to do so.

The people most affected by a system of oppression should be at the forefront of the struggle against that particular oppression. - Peter Gelderloos
