"We can either passively continue on the road to utter domestication and destruction or turn in the direction of joyful upheaval, passionate and feral embrace of wildness and life that aims at dancing on the ruins of clocks, computers and that failure of imagination and will called work."
Anarcho-Primitivism (AnPrim) is an
Anarchist, economically undefined and anti-technological ideology. It is based upon the belief that agriculture and settled civilization fundamentally lead to a lifestyle which is either unfulfilling and/or authoritarian, and that to achieve a free society, technology must be rejected and humanity should return to the Stone Age.
History
[edit]Anarcho-Primitivism formally started with John Zerzan who in the 80s broke with traditional File:Auton.png Autonomism with his writings on civilization in which he sharply critiqued and analyzed the arising of civilization, capital, and language connecting each of these.
His beliefs would be relatively unknown except within niche Autonomist, Hippie, and student circles. It was only during and after the trial of the Unabomber that his ideas would reach the mainstream and find popularity outside of these circles.
Beliefs
[edit]Personality and Behaviour
[edit]AnPrim is represented as a primitive hunter-gatherer who will act with extreme anger at any sort of technology, often trying to destroy it. He is said to worship the "Sun god" and "Moon God." He also says "Ooga" and "Booga" a lot. He also doesn't use pronouns and refers to himself as "Grug".
How to Draw
[edit]Drawing Anprim is very simple:
- Draw a ball.
- Draw a line in a lighter shade of black (#141414) diagonally through the ball.
- Fill the space below the line with the same color as the line and the space above the line green (#018001).
- Add the eyes, and you're done!
