Bellamy's essay on some of the issues with the philosophical underpinnings of the most well known anarcho-primitivists in the U.S. This piece is an attempt at collecting and refining ideas I have thought about and discussed, perhaps excessively, for the past few years, presented here in a redigested and regurgitated form that I envision, tentatively, as my final statements on the subject matter.
Critique, in my view, is always implicitly complimentary: its mere existence validates the importance of its target, regardless of how harsh it might be... Anarcho-Primitivism drew me to anarchism in a way that the Humanist Left-wing or Right-wing versions never could have, and so I've lavished it with a good deal of this praise. Barring a sea change in the discourse with the Anarcho-Primitivists, what follows is a sincerely fond farewell.
