=== Direct action === Anarcho-punks universally believe in [[direct action]], although the way in which this manifests itself varies greatly. Despite their differences in strategy, anarcho-punks often co-operate with each other. Many anarcho-punks are [[pacifism|pacifists]] (e.g. Crass and [[Discharge (band)|Discharge]]) and therefore believe in using non-violent means of achieving their aims. These include [[nonviolent resistance]], [[refusal of work]], [[squatting]], economic [[sabotage]], [[dumpster diving]], [[graffiti]], [[culture jamming]], [[ecotage]], [[freeganism]], [[boycott]]ing, [[civil disobedience]], [[hacktivism]] and [[subvertising]]. Some anarcho-punks believe that violence or property damage is an acceptable way of achieving social change (e.g. [[Conflict (band)|Conflict]]). This manifests itself as [[riot]]ing, [[vandalism]], wire cutting, [[Hunt saboteur|hunt sabotage]], participation in [[Animal Liberation Front]], [[Earth Liberation Front]], or even [[Black Bloc]] style activities, and in extreme cases, bombings. Many anarchists dispute the applicability of the term "violence" to describe destruction of property, since they argue that destruction of property is done not to control an individual or institution but to take its control away.<ref>{{cite web |title=César Chavez on the Pragmatics of Violence |url=http://www.american-philosophy.org/archives/past_conference_programs/pc2004/submissions/tp-2.htm |publisher=Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy (SAAP) |access-date=29 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121023055608/http://www.american-philosophy.org/archives/past_conference_programs/pc2004/submissions/tp-2.htm |archive-date=23 October 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Fringe anarchists in middle of violent demonstrations|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-64114222.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130629103332/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-64114222.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=29 June 2013 |newspaper=[[Seattle Post-Intelligencer]] |access-date=29 May 2013}}</ref>
