Subject: Re: Primitivism and anarchism discussion Part 1


Anarcho-syndicalists clearly do not dismiss the left
en masse as do primitivists and (obviously)
post-leftists. They view THEMSELVES as left (see
Chomsky, Dolgoff, Rocker et al).  I dont posit an
equivalency primitivist/post-left, but rather note
shared characteristics.  

I have followed the "post-left" though Anarchy, IAS,
infoshop and so on. You would like the definition of a
political term which has been amply discussed in
history and political theory turn on a few essays by a
few people whose position you find congenial.
Unfortunately, the mass of what the rest of the world
has written and thinks does not concord with this
rather idiosyncratic view.  

Instead of asking me to "do my homework" and become a
"mature adult" why dont you read something else such
as the overwhelming mass of political theory? Bobbio
is fairly representative.
