Syndicalism as a transition to Primitivism... Intriguing concept...

What should happen? I mean, we cannot have infinite growth on a finite planet. And Chomsky said: we're in trouble if we need to embrace Jensen's ideology.

Or do we simply destroy the planet? I know. The planet will be around for another 5 billion years. But it may be pretty difficult for life to survive.

And, too, how do we address global warming or environmental decay? Should we care? Should we care about future generations?

[Antiks72]

@eddiemaxblack Who cares what they say? Are they experts? How the fuck do they know? Oh, and their ideas aren't going to happen.

@Antiks72

Derrick Jensen has said that electricity, yes ELECTRICITY, is incompatible with planetary survival.... I mean, if we continue as is, according to Zerzan and the likes of Jensen the planet will be destroyed.... Noam Chomsky said we're in real trouble if we have to embrace a Jensen ideology.... So, who knows.

Yeah I mean this is what I thought. Zerzan is respectable though, but I don't think primitivism is an ideal to move towards, its very backward looking like conservatism. If we go back to a primitive society, that will then be like moving thousands of years back, so what is to stop rise of feudalism etc all over again? Arguably the other strains of anarchism are forward looking as they will move towards a post-age accommodating industrialism and progress ASWELL as full human development

@11mac11s Hey, I don't disagree with you. I'd love to see bankers and politicians swinging from lamp posts. We're LONG overdue for a reset.

[Antiks72]

@11mac11s I guess we're fucked either way.

[Antiks72]

Millions and million would die if Zerzan's wish ever came true. Probably billions.

One of those things I like about mr1001, is that he seems to like to refer to Marx in these, his 'own', contexts. Intriguing.
