    We don’t need millions of factories across the planet spewing countless shit into the ecosystem.

    I mean the italicized portion, 1000% agree. And honestly, we can definitely cut down the number of factories by cannibalizing defense factories (i.e., rip them apart for useful stuff and burn the rest), although I honestly don’t know what number of factories is reasonable, or if the number of factories is even a helpful metric.

    Anti-Civ/Green Anarchy isn’t AnPrim where we go live as cave men with nothing, it’s reassessing our relationship with production and choosing sensible uses focused on minimising harm.

    That’s awesome and I agree we should do that, and thank you for making the distinction explicit. Honestly, I just want to see more anarchists in my engineering courses. Like I 1000% recognize that the big problems today (capitalism, racism, the State, colonialism, climate change) are social problems that don’t have pure technological fixes…but technology is certainly gonna be a part of the social solutions.
