    but you are technically coercing them into compliance if they’re going to be removed from a project, relationship, etc.

    this is an ongoing discussion within anarchism.

    ideally, removing someone who wants to remain should be the last resort of a group. ideally, someone would not get to this point unless everyone else in the group (at some point) wanted them there.

    this is where relationship anarchy and restorative and transformative justice come into play:

    • avoiding situations where people feel trapped in a social situation, and
    • promoting confrontation, dialogue and active listening when people are uncomfortable.

    for disclosure: i’m not for relationship anarchy, but i’m not against it, either.
