Pressures supports the vision of a nonviolent and anarchist society. He describes a key experience as follows:

“A tall man of the 'fascist thug' type stole my cap from my head together with another in the park. I went to him and said, infected by Gandhi, calmly but emphatically: 'Please give me the hat back, it belongs to my mother and I need it.' He then hit me in the stomach with full force. Outwardly unimpressed, I repeated my appeal shortly afterwards, still in a friendly manner, whereupon he reacted in the same way as the first time. When I expressed my concern for the third time, outwardly, I was no longer beaten. He returned the hat to me and apologized. "

- Interview from: Bernd Drücke (Ed.): Yes! Anarchism. Lived utopia in the 21st century.

He referred early on to Martin Luther King , Henry David Thoreau , Kurt Tucholsky , Theodor W. Adorno , Max Horkheimer , Gernot Jochheim and the libertarian anti-militarist Ernst Friedrich. Print strictly rejects violence against people, including as an indirect result of acts of sabotage .

He agrees with the original direction of the magazine, the intention of which he describes with the statement that “anarchism should become nonviolent and the nonviolent movement anarchist. Then as now, the newspaper was a mouthpiece for anti-militarist movements and total conscientious objectors who reject military service, community service and all other compulsory service. ”It is important to remember libertarian theorists.
