Failed State Update57. John Zerzan: When We Are HumanIs the United States collapsing, or is all of civilization collapsing? To explore that question we bring you John Zerzan, an anarchist and primitivist author whose work has been compared to Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, of all people. His books offer an alternative vision of history that focuses on the destructive nature of technology. And more importantly — and this is why we spoke to him — his work suggests a possible future free of the alienation and control of capitalism-run-amok.

On this edition of Parallax Views, a previously unpublished with the controversial anarcho-primitivist philosopher John Zerzan from August 2020 about his new book When We Are Human: Notes from the Age of Pandemics (Feral House 2021). Zerzan argues that the root cause of social woes like alienation and neuroses, as well as domination and hierarchies, are the cause of agricultural and industrial civilizations. Moreover, he believes we are in the grips of a techno-madness that is spiritually anathema to being human. A critic of transhumanism, Zerzan believes in the extremely radical idea of anarcho-primitivism which posits a return to...2021-11-041h 07

I. De este modo, pues, dicen que pasaron los acontecimientos; por lo que mira a la armada de los griegos, iban en ella los siguientes: los atenienses suministraban 127 naves, a cuyo armamento concurrían con ellos los de Platea, quienes, bien que rudos e ignorantes en la náutica, por su valor y brío se mostraban prontos a embarcarse. Los corintios daban 40 naves; los megarenses 20, y los de Cálcide armaban otras 20, que los atenienses les habían prestado; contribuían con 48 los eginetas; con 12 los sicionios; con 10 los lacede...2019-12-022h 14

The Regrettable CenturyDisagreements With the UnabomberThis week we dive deep into eco-terrorism / green anarchy / primitivism, and discuss why we think the Unambomber had some good points while also disagreeing with him, a lot. Anti-Civ folks would tell you that the problems that plague humanity begin with the industrial revolution and that we need to go back to hunter/gatherer societies. We at The Regrettable Century, however, enjoy the fact that we survived past childbirth and can wear corrective lenses to read books safely inside of our warm homes this winter.

Last Born In The WildernessJohn Zerzan: Domestication & The Neurotic SpeciesIn this segment, anarchist and primitivist philosopher John Zerzan and I discuss the root of the pervasive neuroses, destructive addictive behaviors, and outbursts of violence in modern society — all of which stem from the alienation produced by the community-destroying elements present in civilized life today. Through John’s examination of anthropological evidence of humanity’s pre-historic past, we can understand that much of what we take for granted to be “normal” human behavior and development is really, in the scope of things, a rather recent product of the logic of technological and economic progress inherent in capitalist development — the most recent phase...2018-10-1006 min

The Murderous Idolatry of the Future: Anarcho-Primitivism and the end of Technology
John Zerzan was active in the Sixties in San Francisco and Berkeley. A leading participant in the contemporary anarchist resurgence, Zerzan's political project calls for the destruction of technology. He draws the distinction between tools that stay under the control of the user, and technological systems that draw the user into their control. His critical ideas have challenged symbolic thought, mathematics, art and the concept of time.
