Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

I need some advice,

Our local punk scene is pretty small. I am part of that scene but not in the inner circle where everyone is close friends with everybody. The issue is that pretty deep in that scene is one person who was abusive in the past. That is why he is banned from some leftist spaces. I don't know any details about the abuse but he wouldn't be banned from some spaces if it wouldn't have been bad.

So he crossed a red line, and not trying to get him out of the scene would lack solidarity towards the victim as well as increase the chance of it happening again.

Does anyone have advice on how to go about it?

This is inevitably going to be a heavily context and detail-dependent affair. Since you don't seem to know to any specificity what the individual actually did, who the victim was, or how recent this was, you're going to struggle to convince others of the importance.

Thusly, I'm not sure anyone could give good advice in this situation, other than to talk to those previously affected and what their actual views on the perpetrator are - otherwise anything you do is going to be based on complete guesses. Sometimes that's all you have to go off, and in those cases, you can only instead ask people to err on the cautious side.

Yeah this. I'm sure you're right that he's sketchy but unless you know how he was it's not gonna go well. One way is to see if there are inner circle members who are also members of the orgs he's banned from.
