      Is anarcho-primitivism an ideology?

It might appear that anarcho-primitivism is just another "ideology on 
the market." But rather than an ideology, it is an analytical tool that 
can be used to put things into perspective, to show that we have lived 
for millions of years without the need of civilization and 
domestication. I think it's an important thing to try - and I don't know 
how possible it is - to keep anarcho-primitivism open, not a closed 
realm of ideas, an ideology, but to keep asking better questions, 
perhaps, to keep it moving.
