Abstract:
Anarcho-primitivism is a trend in anarchism based on criticism of
the origins and achievements of civilization. Primitivisms argue that the
transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture gave rise to social
stratification, coercion and alienation. They are proponents of abandoning
civilization through deindustrialization, abolishing the division of labor
and specialization, and abandoning large-scale technology. Modern technology is a single system in which all parts depend on each other. You
can’t get rid of its bad parts and leave only the good ones. No amount of
laws, morals, traditions will not protect you from technology for the long term. It’s much easier to just overthrow a technological system than it is
to impose long-term restrictions on the development of technologies like
genetic engineering.
