Discussion equals value: Hello

[TheWorldIsNotOurHome]

I do not suppose many people care to, or enjoy, reading the introduction threads unless they are a new member as well. That does not mean there is no worth in writing one. Anyways, I travel the US by taking rides from random strangers and fellow people with similar mindset. Currently, I am staying in one area, but only until the winter is over. In other words, my home is my tent and that is exactly how I intend to live my life. My "leftist" views are considered primitive communism. Or tribalism. I believe people were meant to live in small or medium groups and change there location every so many years. Living in large cities and the population growth is poison and will not last very long. Well, that is a brief introduction from myself, very poorly written and barely informational. Feel free to message me on anything I have said, or anything you believe I may be interested in.

Welcome :)

I guess you're referring to primitivism. And I just note that: 1) that would imply a huge step back in living standards, world population, etc and 2) primitive communist society failed for a reason.

The agricultural revolution didn't happen because working on the land was so much fun, quite the contrary. It happened because the old ways became impossible, quite likely because megafauna was mostly hunted to extinction.

Welcome, a self-confessed primitivist? Interesting...expecting some heated discussions to follow in your wake.

Welcome to the forum. :)

I used to have some Primitivist tendencies as well, but I have given up on believing that there is such a 'human nature'. Actually, it seems that we are capable of living with many people in dense cities. The only problem is that our system has already outgrown itself, forcing us to move on to Socialism.

I don't know you, but I am not meant to live in small groups and change location every so many years.

Oh, believe me, I understand the regression needed to be true pritivism. When I use the world "Tribalism" I actually mean it as some type of structure for society. Imagine a world, much further in technological advances than ours, where we can have different, let's say city states, where we build our cities out of recyclable material and even materials we know are biodegradable. Then our buildings and communities will have a life expectancy. Once a city is ready to be recycled, the people who choose to live in that specific city state move on to the next region. Switching their agricultural strategies and new functions.

Yeah, I know the way of life is too much work and nobody would accept or want to live that way. All I am saying is society could function in ways just like that. I prefer more of utilitarian approach so perhaps these city states structures are all different. You choose the state you want to live on based on your way of living. There would always be the people who belonged to none and that would be totally fine as long as they don't interfere. If they did choose to interfere they will have to remember that every person has a right and a will to protect their way of life.
