Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

How to get abusive people out of a local punk scene? (lemmygrad.ml)

I need some advice,

Our local punk scene is pretty small. I am part of that scene but not in the inner circle where everyone is close friends with everybody. The issue is that pretty deep in that scene is one person who was abusive in the past. That is why he is banned from some leftist spaces. I don't know any details about the abuse but he wouldn't be banned from some spaces if it wouldn't have been bad.

So he crossed a red line, and not trying to get him out of the scene would lack solidarity towards the victim as well as increase the chance of it happening again.

Does anyone have advice on how to go about it?

Have you tried punching him in the face? Most people don't like that and if you do it enough they'll usually just go away forever.

But for real if you don't know details about this then you probably shouldn't try to push the point. Either get more info so you can be persuasive or wait until the dude does something fucked up again (not ideal).

But also, a lot of abusive people will just lie and wiggle out of any accountability so you might end up having to punch them in the face anyway. In my experience you usually have to be very aggressive with them at minimum or they'll brush it off and act like you're overreacting, joking, etc. I've confronted people like this several times over the years and every single time it's been a hassle, they never just accept it and move on and they definitely don't apologize
