Self described “anarchists” who perpetrate violence against other Anarchists in Australia should not be permitted to hide behind the veil of anarchist politics in order to avoid sanction for their actions.
We do not live in the Anarchist utopia. There is no functioning system of redress within the Anarchist community in Australia at this time.
Individual anarchists have the absolute right to take whatever measures are necessary to ensure their safety, and to protect others from violent people in our midst. This includes utilizing the “law”.
Those who call on anarchists not to report their violent actions to the Police because of anarchist politics should be rejected for the violent hypocritical thugs that they are.
