This important pamphlet looks closely at the fundamental conflicts between anarchism and primitivism. It traces primitivism’s basic precepts back to their authoritarian roots, reveals primitivist misconceptions about anarchism, capitalism and technology, shows how the corporate media have used primitivism to discredit anarchism, and also shows how ideology-driven primitivists, much like fundamentalist Christians opposed to evolution, have picked through anthropological evidence to support their predetermined conclusions, while ignoring data that contradict those conclusions.

Anarchism, What it Really Stands For and A New Declaration of Independence by Emma Goldman<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

Anarchism, the great leaven of thought, is today permeating every phase of human endeavor.

It is the philosophy of the sovereignty of the individual. It is the theory of social harmony. It is the great, surging, living truth that is reconstructing the world, and that will usher in the Dawn.<\/span>” Printed in Croatia. ISBN 978-1-909798-86-1 Cover Price \u00a31<\/p>\n

Fascism \/Anti-Fascism by Jean Barrot<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

Barrot’s thesis is very simple; it is that struggling against fascism (in particular) necessarily entails supporting democracy, that capitalism will necessarily remain intact if antifascists support one of its forms against another. All manifestations of antifascism ultimately strengthen the democratic state at the expense of the class struggle; thus both fascism and its nemesis antifascism lead to totalitarianism (the strong state) not communism. Dictatorship, says Barrot, is not a weapon of capital but a tendency<\/em> of capital. Printed in Croatia.\u00a0ISBN 978-1-909798-63-2 Cover Price \u00a31<\/span><\/p>\n
