Just to explain this meme to ppl not familiar. Ted Kaczynski [left] (aka the Unabomber) wasn’t a leftist or an anarchist. The person on the right is Murray Bookchin, a pioneer in the environmental movement.

[Kaczynski] was extremely critical of anarchism and the left, and would certainly reject that label. He was a primitivist, which is more in line with radical conservative concepts than leftism. Primitivism bases its rhetoric on a romanticized past, much like moderate conservatism, but just goes much much farther back. Thus, his writing is more in line with “eco-fascism”, the new right, etc than with anarchism. - source

Primitivism argues that civilization is at the root of societal and environmental problems, and that the best/only solution is to eschew technology and contemporary social relations, and to return to a more primitive existence, i.e., blow it all up and go back to the past.

Tldr: be like The Chad Bookchin, not like The Virgin Kaczynski

Too bad Bookchin was such a terrible writer. I think his ideas were an important contribution to leftist theory.

EoF is dense and difficult, but there are plenty of books from social ecologists that make his ideas more accessible. check out: https://communalistlibrary.carrd.co/

Bookchin was a scumbag though so fuck him and kaczynski isn’t a good reflection of “primitivism” which nobody really calls themself anymore and which you massively misrepresent in your comment and this meme.
