'property damage' NOT 'VIOLENCE "J. Zerzan
WHO' John Zerzan?
is an anarchist philosopher and advocate of primitivism. has written numerous articles and essays in radical opposition to all forms of civilization, in particular identifying the bases refute the concepts of agriculture, language, symbolic thought (number and art) and time. Zerzan identifies the advent of civilization, the origin of every form of power, which led to the domestication of humans, animals and the environment. It is a social machine that introduced the principle of ownership, division of labor law.
This structure is based through the use of certain artifices (reification) to an abstract representation of reality, such as time, language, writing, number, religion (the functional need for the ruling class establish the boundaries of the property, the pace of work, the codification of the rules). Agriculture is in fact one of the first and fundamental manifestations of civilization. Compared to an earlier stage, in which men and women were free hunter-gatherers, they live alienated, estranged from their environment and the need satisfaction their needs. The technology is however only the essential tool for the production of social goods and the preservation of the scaffold. Therefore, the technology does not come as a neutral medium. The technology also changes the environment, way of life of human beings and the man himself, among other things, making it dependent on the machines.
