• John Zerzan (born 1943) is an American anarchist and primitivist philosopher and author. His works critique (agricultural) civilization as inherently oppressive, and advocates drawing upon the ways of life of prehistoric humans as an inspiration for what a free society should look like. Some of his criticism has extended as far as challenging domestication, language, symbolic thought (such as mathematics and art) and the concept of time. His four major books are Elements of Refusal (1988), Future Primitive (1994), Against Civilization: A Reader (1998) and Running on Emptiness (2002).

• The BarringtonCollective, Berkeley - Parents, teachers and students could organize on the neighborhood level, demand charter status and form their own schools. Public schools are generally viewed as inefficient, test crazed and/or prison-like. Many believe that the public schools are administered by those in power with interests in providing just enough educational resources to prevent rebellion. The Barrington Collective sees such centralized institutions as alienating and destructive of community and culture. Wherever possible, we support the creation of decentralized, autonomous organizations networked horizontally rather than hierarchically. - http://barringtoncollective.org/FreeSkoolBackground.

Last year's (2004) DAY TWO Bookfair workshops were held at a different address and included American anarchist guests. Book early aimimg to get space in DAY ONE, taking advantage of having a larger class from the built-in casual visitors who originally came only to buy books and look around.

Allies of (anti-civilization) Neo-primitive Anarchist Organizations

• Post-left anarchy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-left_anarchy.
  Post-left anarchy is a recent current in anarchist thought that seeks to distance itself from the traditional left and to escape the confines of ideology in general. It has rapidly developed since the fall of the Soviet Union, which many view as the death of authoritarian leftism.

  • 4 See also: Left anarchism, Nihilism, Post-structuralism, Situationists
  • 5 External links: Anarchy After Leftism (Infoshop.org), Primitivist and post-left 'anarchism' (Anarchism.ws)

• More anti-civilization books:
  • http://cybrmarc.tripod.com/read/ - 46 anti-civilization book reviews plus many essays and articles

• Our comrades at .................................... - http://www.ainfos.ca/ appear to be anti-primitive. A quote from their front page says: "A-Infos� work is not inspired by egoistic and egocentric individualism, primitivism, ..." Why would A-Infos hate anti-civilization groups? You can't drink the water; you can't eat the junk food and you can't breathe the air. Is Mother Nature to be replaced by "speciesism", "human Supremacists"? Animals' brains ARE more intelligent than human deviants. Over populating humans who are hogging and polluting all animal habitat are rendering the planet useless so Mother Nature has begun using Her bio weapons of mass destruction against mankind. These WMD - micro-organisms and prions using bird and animal vectors can slow down some of the continuing extinctions of Mother Earth's lifeforms by culling human sprawl if it's not too late.
  Thousands of years ago Hindu scriptures wisely revealed that the smarter animals were demonstrating superior intelligence. Hinduism (http://www.hope.edu/academic/religion/reader/hinduism.html) and it's offshoot Buddhism have been embraced by intellectuals in the West for fifty years, and both (in theory) obey Mother Nature. For details on superior animal intelligence, read postings by godhas4legs at: http://www.animalsentience.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=22&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

Adversaries of (anti-civilization) Neo-primitive Anarchist Organizations

• The Canadian Council for Israel and Jewish Advocacy (CIJA): http://www.web.ca/~story/noble/israellobbylosesyork.pdf by Toronto's York University Social science professor David Noble. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Noble. With $millions, this new enormously powerful Israel lobby in Canada finances right wing advisors to work on the students' minds, by its organized rendering of truth at all major Canadian university campuses. _How it all started:_ http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2002-04-11/news_story.php. They are currently lobbying our Ottawa senators for restrictions on our freedom to dissent: B'nai Brith at the Sept 26, 2005 Senate hearings on the Canadian Anti-terrorism Act legislation^?. Senator Raynell Andreychuk said that she was surprised by the National President of the Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC) Ed Morgan's call for National profiling. Senator Serge Joyal was also concerned about this slippery slope, and it looked like fear-mongering.

  :: Ottawa U: http://www.uwatch.ca/ - September 22, 2005 - Appeal for information: Ottawa U's attempt to shut down Activism Course We�re appealing for more information on initial reports that last night Dr. Detillier the Ottawa U Dean of Science personally appeared in a classroom to shut down a course in activism given by Physics professor Dr. Denis Rancourt. -- Apparently the popular course has been the talk of the campus in the few short weeks it has been offered; if you were one of students present last night during the attempted high-level intervention Uwatch would love to hear from you.

• CollaboratorWatches the NGOs collaborating with the oppressive and funded by private interests or governed from the top down, carry "strings" -- limits in struggles, program, tactics and strategy. To think otherwise is self-delusive. To truly become an independent force, progressive NGO's must go to their roots, and win the allegiance of their people in order to become self-financing and live and work on voluntary donations from the people they purport to service. -- (exerpt from rebelion.org).

Members' Sites by Anarchist U -- Anti-civilization :: Collective General

• Anti-civilization - Unmoderated bare knuckle poop - http://groups-beta.google.com/group/AnarchistU/ - All anti-civilization committed members are welcome. Only members can read the archive. Members must be approved before joining - Email: AnarchistU@googlegroups.com and join up so that we can learn more about your valuable ideas, especially if it is hard for you to come to AnarchistU's monthly general meetings, and hopefully several of the Collective will respond to you out-of-town communicators. Also, is anyone in the UK listening? Also, are you Oregon and North Carolina anarchists going to write in with some burning topics, and why don't more of you Americans come to The Toronto Anarchist Bookfair this year and talk about "Every Night Is Earth Night".?
• Collective General? - There are no other of Anarchist U googlegroups listed here yet. There may not even be any proclaimed pro-civilization members at Anarchist U. Does "Variety of tactics" remind one of varieties of anarchists? The creation of a broad topics, tree-type conversation forum to enable anarchists in other countries to talk to us transparently, persistantly pops into the agenda of Anarchist U monthly meetings. Until the question of the forum is resolved by consensus it would seem to be innappropriate to start a googlegroup or Yahoogroup which simulates a broad topic conversation forum. Work-arounds like that, which would be used to defeat the consensus process are unfamliar to the mindset of an anarchist hive. ... A less effective but still valuable way for Anarchist U promoters to help promote the growth of Anarchist U would be to engage the world in debate independently at outside conversation forums such as http://www.plastic.com/ read their FAQ http://www.plastic.com/faq.html An offsite intelligent discussion that a right winger subverts into a shit-throwing session could at least keep the flaming away from the Anarchist U website. .... (she/he said:)If I wasn't so busy watching Seinfeld reruns or strapping my blade, I would go there now to start a new topic and talk about a new way of the zillions of ways that anarchists can create the sort of anarchy and chaos that would cause sociopathic society to crumble.
