Not an anprim, but I have a question. I imagine there’s a difference between primitivism and anarcho-primitivism, so what is the difference exactly? I can’t seem to find out. Is it more about how to get to a primitive society?

    AFAICT, ‘anarcho-primitivism’ is a variant of anarchism focused on de-industrialization and a return to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle; more info here. Primitivism seems like a more general term, including right-wing variants.

    (by the way, unlike on R*ddit, you can just edit the title here)

      Since primitivism is a broad term, are there left-wing versions of it that aren’t anarcho-primitivism?

        I don’t know any specifics, but there might be a variant that entails restoring aspects of a primitive lifestyle (e.g. living in smaller families/tribes) without getting rid of important things like modern medicine
