Post-Civilized

To be remarkably brief, Post-Civilization is a political and social theory that is built from the following:

1 – This civilization is, from its foundation, unsustainable. It
probably cannot be salvaged, and, what’s more, it would be
undesirable to do so.
2 – It is neither possible, nor desirable, to return to a pre-
civilized state of being.
3 – It is therefore desirable to imagine and enact a post-
civilized culture.

For others, it might be simplest to understand that we are green anarchists who do not outright reject technology or mediation, who do not fetishize pre-civilized methods of survival.

For those whom none of the above made any sense, let me say it this way: we believe in radical sustainability – we want to create a society that can actually continue. And we want that society to be egalitarian, that is, a society of equals. We don’t believe in the myth that this civilization represents the pinnacle of human achievement, nor do we believe in the myth that pinnacle of human culture was when we were nomadic hunter-gatherers. We believe that the future can be awesome, if we make it awesome.
