A scenario found in few kitchens: ‘primitive’ treasures are arrayed beneath an English Primitivist painting; masks, figures and animals in all forms are of pre-Colombian origin whereas the dark stele, a ‘charinga’, is as unassuming as its Australian Aborigine maker.

Non-human animals deserve better. But where do we start? Our diets? Our economic choices? Our attitudes? I wake up each morning and am sobered into a hard reality when I think about the fact that large populations on this planet see me, a homo sapien, as non-human. I cannot sit idly by and let the power structure that supports that belief let millions of sentient beings both simian and non-simian pay the price with their lives. Instead I have chosen to identify with my fellow creatures of God's grand creation, and fight the power with my diet, my low-waste purchases, my lifestyle, my attitude, my body and my creative works.

We cannot see the ocean weep because she is made of water.

I am vegan for all. For everywhere. For life.

Unity of the Anprims and Ancoms

Ancoms and Anarcho-Primitivists have always had our disagreements. We desire a world where we can live peacefully with technology as it continues to advance, resulting in full automation so that we can enjoy time with our family and friends and doing our hobbies 24/7 as a machine literally cooks and builds our burgers from scratch. Primitivists, some not all, i dont want to generalize, want to return to a society without technology where resources are made by hand from local materials in the forest, aka a hunter-gatherer society.

So why should ancoms and anprims unite? To put it simply, ancoms wish to give indigenous people their land back and let them live how they want. We wish to do the same for the anprims, to let them live their lives however they see fit without interferance from the outside world.

In the ancom world, there would be gigantic lush forests, plenty of room for anprims to thrive in their own society. If anprims can help us ancoms create a world without a state, social classes, money, etc. then we are happy to help them build their deep-ecology society. In the end, we are both in the working class. We deserve absolute freedom. You want a primitivist society? Unite with us, we will give you everything you desire
