== History ==
AnPac thought is predominantly based in the writings of [[File:Thoreau.png]] [[w:Henry David Thoreau|Henry David Thoreau]], [[File:Tolstoy.png]] [[w:Leo Tolstoy|Leo Tolstoy]], and [[File:Ghandi.png]] [[w:Mahatma Gandhi|Mahatma Gandhi]], and serves as a core tenet in most variants of [[File:Anrel.png]] [[Religious Anarchism]]<ref>Christoyannopoulos, Alexandre. (March 2010).

Religion may be a grounds for seeking peaceful revolution as opposed to [[File:Insarch.png]] violent revolution, but secular anarchists can support nonviolent revolution. Despite significant anarcho-pacifist thinkers citing [[File:Thoreau.png]] Thoreau as an influence, Thoreau himself did not subscribe to pacifism<ref>Meyer, Michael. (1980).
