Green, but not primitive theory

Submitted by ola dreng on August 23, 2016

Hey ho good people!

Looking for theory/writings (or a general conversation) on a more of an eco-oriented anarchism which is NOT primitivism (or the dreaded "eco-extremism"). I think that some of what the primmies have contributed with is valid, but stuff got out of hand.

I am a small scale farmer, so don't have much time left over for writing myself but I like to challenge my perspective.

I am curious how anarchism can answer the problems of urban-civilization, mass production, ecological degradation/destruction, without the old song of the "exploitive class". Sure enough it figures in (as in the degradation of the commons). My first thought would be something along the lines of Gary Snyders 'The Practice of the Wild'.

Any feedback greatly appreciated!

look no further than the Earth First! journal. It's pretty diverse in it's umbrella of green anarchism.
