a major influence, as far as i can tell, is his rejection of class
struggle.. or rather, his belief that even the bourgeoisie has been
proletarianized, and that capital is a anthropocentric enetity existing on
its own -- thus there is no struggle between classes anymore.

another major influece is his facination with prmitive communism, and
seeming desire to move humanity back in that direction (an obvious kinship).
and his tendency to make environmental struggles primary.

and i think his overall sort-of purtian ethical tendencies appeal to
primitivists.

this is pretty cursory and basic...
