"The more violence, the less revolution" - with this statement, Bart de Ligt captured a central tenet of nonviolent anarchism and anarchist pacifism. The assertion was meant not only as a theoretical-practical insight but also as one that relates to concrete historical experiences. De Ligt's observation is of far-reaching significance - for anarchist, nonviolent, and social revolutionary theory and practice; for history and the present; for anarchists of various stripes; for nonviolent activists; and for all people striving for emancipatory change. Can liberation be achieved through nonviolent forms of struggle? How can they become effective as a nonviolent-revolutionary perspective beyond isolated campaigns? What historical and current experiences, limitations, and successes must be taken into account?.
