Are practicing animists also anarcho-primitivists?

You would think that a person so in tune with their environment would recognize the trappings and faults inherent in civilization and the varied positive aspects of returning to a more HG way of life...

Just curious though.

I would have to say yes..and if not, they should be. Gods know I am..

Have you read any of zerzan?

Or maybe Industrial society and it's future?

If so, what's your opinion on them?

[hippy i am]

it seems complicated enough to say yes.

neither is required to be the other, neither is required not to be.

recognizing spiritness where you find it, and recognizing the nonvalidity of adamant hierarhcyness are two seperate things though. and i question the op's use of the term 'civilization' though, and it's implied relationship with formalized hierarchy.

or for that matter, the simultanious trivialization and demonization implied in the term 'primativist'. as if harmony with nature's cycles of renewal were something ignorant, rather then vital to the suvival of the web of life and with it the human species, or that 'levels' of tecnology rather then specifics of them and how they are used is of greater pretinence to the former concern.
