Really? The only primitivist I will listen to is one who has lived in primitive areas, not people who think bicycling to work is being primitive. I have seen some of the most primitive areas in Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, interior villages of Somalia. I have seen the hardship and suffering of their daily life. You have not. Think about who the fantasist is. Yes, cities are overcrowded. Industry is exploitative. Capitalism has created a plethora of professions we could do without. Overpopulation is a problem. The way we live needs to be restructured, Industry needs to be reorganized. Capitalism abolished. These are ANARCHIST ideas. The destruction of industry and 90% of the population, and return to primitive way of life are primitivist ideas. If we go cherry picking through primitivist ideology for the best ideas. Voila, we will end up with anarchist ideas. So why the garbage? Cheers. Ali. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
