    I think it’s fair to say that, for a person to be consistent in their pacifism, they probably also need to adopt:

    1. Anarchism (because government lives by its capacity for violence.)
    2. Religious convictions of some kind.

    Or some combination of the two, as was the case for the Diggers.

        I don’t recall saying that “everyone on the planet” should or could adopt any kind of belief.

        Pacifism isn’t aimed at victory.

          The point about a county not being able to be pacifist the way that an individual can be is the same reason that the requirements proposed would require universal adoption. The aim of pacifism is irrelevant when it’s the target.
