Against His-Story, Against Leviathan

a 1983 book by Fredy Perlman, for which he is best known.[1] It is a personal critical perspective on contemporary civilization and society. The work defined anarcho-primitivism for the first time and was a major source of inspiration for anti-civilization perspectives in contemporary anarchism

Fire At Midnight Destruction At Dawn

Originally published in the first issue of A Murder of Crows, this pamphlet is a good explanation about how individual acts can fit into collective revolt and not become isolated in specialized armed struggle

"Sabotage can be used in all situations, in all terrains, and by anyone who wishes to use it. It requires no specialization or skill, just initiative. While news of sabotage is difficult to find, obscured and negated as it is by those in power, there are some notable examples of its use that we would like to examine. This list is by no means comprehensive but rather a sampling of relevant examples."

Progress and Nuclear Power: The Destruction of the Continent and Its Peoples

Written in 1979 by one of the foundational authors of anarcho-primitivism, this text was a brilliant indightment of the infamous accident that irradiated the human & non-human communities surrounding the upper Susquehanna River in the same year. It dives deeper into the driving narratives of the United States of America, starting with its obsession with disregarding original notions of existence for the sake of "higher" abstractions, its sickening disconnection from the web of life

He wasn't though. He was writing against technology and the industrial society not in favor of preserving the environment.

That's right. Environmentalism by itself is a lost cause, like TK pointed out. The system will inevitably fix its impact on the environment or else it will collapse. But the price humans will pay for it will be huge. Therefore, human freedom and dignity should be the number one priority of the anti-tech and eco movements.

>or else it will collapse.

only trouble is that when it collapses it will bury everything under its ruin. this is Ted's line in his latest book: anti-tech Rev how and why

[Anonymous No.12684039]

Today the barbarians no longer camp at the gates of the City. They already find themselves inside it, because they were born in it. There are no longer cold lands of the North or barren steppes of the East from which to start the invasion. It is necessary to recognize that the barbarians arise from the ranks of the imperial subjects themselves. In other words, the barbarians are everywhere. For ears accustomed to the language of the polis, it is easy to recognize them, because when they express themselves, they stammer. But there is no need to let oneself be fooled by the incomprehensible sound of their voices; there is no need to confuse the one without a language with the one who speaks a different language.

Many barbarians really are deprived of a recognizable language, rendered illiterate by the suppression of their individual awareness — a consequence of the extermination of meaning carried out by the Empire. If one does not know how to talk, it is because one does not know what to say, and vice versa. And one does not know what and how to speak because everything has been banalized, reduced to mere symbol, to appearance. Meaning, which was considered one of the greatest sources of revolt, a radiant fount of energy, has been eroded in the course of the past few decades by a whole company of imperial functionaries (for example, the French structuralist school so dear to the two emissaries). They have shattered, pulverized and minced it in every sphere of knowledge. Ideas that expound and incite to transformative action have been cancelled and replaced by opinions that comment and rivet in conservative contemplation. Where there was once a jungle full of danger because it was wild and luxuriant, a desert has been created. And what does one say, what does one do, in the midst of a desert? Deprived of words with which to express rage for the suffering one has undergone, deprived of hope with which to overcome the emotional anguish that devastates daily existence, deprived of desires with which to struggle against institutional reason, deprived of dreams toward which to reach in order to sweep away the repetition of the existent, many subjects become barbaric in action. Once the tongue is paralyzed, the hands quiver to find relief from frustration.
