Post-civilization is a recently emerging anarchist tendency critiquing civilization while moving away from anarcho-primitivism. Post-civilization is based around three premises:
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.
Post-civilization anarchists embrace horticulture and appropriate technology, as opposed to the primitivist refusal of all technology and agriculture. Thus, post-civilization rejects the absolutism of primitivism while retaining the critique of civilization and industrialism.
