The vision of an atomized society is congruent with the work of Kropotkin, Makhno, and many others. The problematic of violence (note the ambivalence) recalls many anguished such debates in classic anarchism, from Godwin through now (nineteenth-century Russia has some great exemplars of this, as does France). The will to extirpate industrialism can be found in the pages of current anarchist journals, such as ANARCHY and THE FIFTH ESTATE to varying degrees. Thanks to the poster for entering the text!
