ON VIOLENCE:

AbolishWork was pretty strict about nonviolence on the sub, partially for optics but perhaps partially as principle:

https://camas.github.io/reddit-search/#{"author":"abolishwork","resultSize":100,"query":"violence"}

onedayitwillbedaisy is eagerly violent and pro-chaos, but avoids it on antiwork to avoid getting shut down:

DnLocky recommends How Nonviolence Protects the State:
