<h3>Is anarcho-primitivism an ideology?</h3>
<p>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.</p>
