Anarchists are opposed to violence

Anarchists are opposed to violence;
everyone knows that.

The main plank of anarchism is the removal of violence
 from human relations.
It is life based on freedom of the individual,
without the intervention of the gendarme.

For this reason we are the enemies of capitalism
which depends on the protection of the gendarme
to oblige workers to allow themselves to be exploited
--or even to remain idle and go hungry
when it is not in the interest of the bosses to exploit them.

We are therefore enemies of the State
which is the coercive violent organization of society.

--Errico Malatesta
