 | | He argued that Christians were obliged to be pacifists, and that pacifists, in turn, were obliged to be anarchists — since government is based on the use of force. | | | However pacifist literature or public advocation of anti-war ideals was banned in some nations, such as Italy under Mussolini, the Soviet Union, and in Germany after the rise of Hitler. | | | Possibly the key figure in making pacifism "respectable" to the general public was Richard "Dick" Sheppard, an Anglican priest prominent due to his position as broadcaster of the BBC's first religious program. |

| | Collusion E-zine - Pacifism as Pathology |
| | Pacifism as Pathology-Notes on an American Pseudopraxis is the title of Ward Churchill's well-argued and persuasive essay criticising the form and ideology of non-violent political action in North America. | | | He suggests that the pacifist response of the Jews which was intended to promote "social responsibility" and not further exacerbate their persecution, in fact did the opposite and led to the Jews effectively colluding with the genocidal aims of their Nazi oppressors. | | | He argues that pacifism is actually pathological with delusional, racist and suicidal tendencies, and bears more hallmarks of a religious, rather than political, ideology. |

| | The fall of pacifism: Just as generals tend to fight the last war, so do pacifists. |
| | Pacifism is the left wing 'version' of American non-interventionism (America First) that sprung from the Mid-West (Prairie Populism) and a lasting belief that the First World War was caused by Wall Street Bankers (namely, JP Morgan.) Henry Ford claimed it was the 'Jews' and sadly, Lindbergh got caught up in that mode of thinking.
| | | But while that war was about defending indefensible monarchies, in the next world war, pacifism itself became indefensible in the face of Nazi tyranny and the Holocaust. | | | Those pressing for liberation are willing to support the sacrifice that war entails; partly for their own security, but largely for the freedom of others. |

| | MyJewishLearning.com - Ideas & Belief: Pacifism in Jewish Law |
| | Difficult as it is in our current society to take a stand against pacifism as a societal or individual moral philosophy, it is clear that the Jewish tradition does not favor pacifism as a value superior to all other values or incorporate it as a basic moral doctrine within Judaism. | | | There is one element of pacifism that is clearly found in the Jewish tradition: the minimization of violence. | | | This action is explained by noting that frequently pacifism is the best response to total political defeat; only through the complete abjuring of the right to use force can survival be ensured. |

| | Final Thoughts on Pacifism |
| | As I have defined pacifism, it would be perfectly consistent for police to respond to the scene. | | | Although actual pacifists (such as Jesus) believed that you should love your enemies, strictly speaking the pacifist as such need only refrain from using violence against his enemies; he is perfectly free to resist and/or avoid them in any nonviolent way. | | | The significance of these distinctions is that it allows pacifist police agencies to use force against suspects. |

| | Dialogue on Christian Pacifism & <Just War>: Biblical & Social Factors |
| | Very few Christian pacifists would contend that pacifism had always been in full force throughout history, since that would be hard to reconcile with the Old Testament. | | | Virtually all self-proclaimed pacifist parents, if they found a dangerous criminal stalking their children, would be willing to call the police-- in full knowledge that the police have guns and know how to use them. | | | So it is hard for me to think of a possible world where Christian pacifism crosses over to become "evil" by depriving the state of a sword. |
