Divergence & Disagreement In Contemporary Anarchist Communism: Social Ecology & Anarchist Primitivism
Unpublished PhD Thesis. This research argues that Bookchin’s social ecology and anarchist primitivism represent contemporary restatements and developments of anarchist communism. It notes the similarities in both origins (from Marxism and the Marxist left rather than from anarchism), outlook (criticism of state and capitalism, but also of syndicalism, Marxism and Deep Ecology), and in areas analysed (notably technology, reason/rationality, history and the primitive), but also that in reaching eventual conclusions both strands end up disagreeing on almost all principal issues. The research attempts to discover why this is the case, focussing on the intentions of the writers involved to explain the divergence away from initial agreement to eventual opposition.
