This important pamphlet looks closely at thefundamental conflicts between anarchism andprimitivism

It traces primitivismrsquos basic precepts back totheir authoritarian roots reveals primitivistmisconceptions about anarchism capitalism andtechnology shows how the corporate media haveused primitivism to discredit anarchism and alsoshows how ideology-driven primitivists much likefundamentalist Christians opposed to evolution

have picked through anthropological evidence tosupport their predetermined conclusions whileignoring data that contradict those conclusions

The author also considers the many primitiviststraw-man attacks upon anarchism and asks whatkind of an anarchist movement do we want onethat looks often ugly authoritarian social

reality in the eye with the aim of transforming itinto something that will lead to freer happier livesfor all of us on planet Earth or one that wastes itstime fantasizing about a non-existent Golden Ageand that would result in the deaths of billions if itsprecepts were followed
