"Marxists believe communist society must be organised and enforced through the state". No they don't. Not sure if he's taking a shot at all the Stalinists in the audience or he's cynically equating Marxism and communism with Stalinism.
I guarantee you that the whole "primintivist movement" is made up of college students and stoners -- and maybe a handfull of ponytailed, 60-something hippies from Haight-Ashbury or the SDS that serve as its 'leaders'. Yeah, we'd all like to stay at home with our folks, never get a job and get high all day and just write off civilization as some kind of mutation that was nothing more than a weird accident. Hmm, the "primitivists" really do like the comforts of modern civilization don't they?
What does this have to do wth never getting a job. Why is that a bad thing anyway. I'm no anarcho-primitivist, but isn't it sad that people are forced to work just so they can pay taxes and buy necessities to survive?
Aboriginal societies were FAR from ideal, just look up this book on Google Books: Aboriginal slavery on the Northwest Coast of North America. Aboriginal societies had slavery and strong hierarchies. The Totem Pole is a symbol of hierarchical society with the "low man on the Totem pole" representing a slave.
@rfavro The northwest coastal societies had slavery and hierarchy because of their abundance of food, so they were sort of an exception. Generally speaking the more a society is dependent on agriculture (and surplus) the more social stratification and hierarchy they had. I think the speaker is speaking specifically about hunter-gatherer and horticultural societies. If you look at hunter-gatherer societies, and to a lesser extend horticultural societies they were definitely very egalitarian.
Hah, bullshit that aboriginal peoples were totally cooperative. Groups tried to exterminate one another, the Hurons and Algonquins in what is now Canada worked with colonial powers to try to kill off one another. I'm completely sympathetic to aboriginals, I have a part-aboriginal girlfriend. But this is bullshit.
Your talking into a microphone, wearing clothes, appearing in front of a camera standing inside a building underneath electric lighting in front of a fabric lined wooden podium. I guess anarcho primitivists don't quite grasp the concept of irony lolz. I'm gonna build a robot army and enslave all you silly ass tree dwelling fuckstains and force you to work on my marijuana plantations/pork processing planets, and your women will service me sexually, problem? Bwahahahaahaha anarcho capitalism FTW
Does anybody know the reference about consumption of grain increasing human fertility? Its absolutely true with livestock, but I thought it was a case of "population grows to meet available calories" Is there perhaps a metabolic change, carbohydrates increasing insulin and thus other hormones? I would really like to understand this.
To be fair, none of us are prepared, at all. We're not organized, so while we can poke fun of our anarchists friends, I'll give mine props for actually contributing something. Unlike most of the pretentious anarchists in my area, this guy actually takes the time to research what he supports and advocates for. This is more than I can say for most.
but it does seem idealistic. I mean in order for that dream of going back to actualize many people would have to die right? Not only for the planet to sustain a hunter gatherer style life, but also the people who would not want to give up technology would have to be killed?
what is this guys name? is this kevin tucker?

Someone else had ideas very similar to what your proposing, his name was Pol Pot and he did so much to better the lives of the Cambodian people.
