    How do they manufacture their defensive weapons or communications equipment in harmony with nature? I’m just saying that an-prim isn’t a realistic model for the world.

      Vietcong was able to defend against the raid of the Washington beatling even though they had no industry. Southern Kurdistan is maintaining their position even though they don’t produce their weapons. Zapatistas has a stronghold.

      Isn’t the most important thing that these bodies actually are able to defend their areas?

          Not sure if I understand you correctly. You say that all of them are importing industrial goods? That doesn’t imply that they are not anprim.

          Let me know if I misinterpret you.

              Does it matter which tags they associate with? As long as they are not doing industry, and living with nature, that’s all that matter.

                The Viet Cong and Kurdistanis are “living with nature”? I don’t even know what that really means. It also seems to me to be against the spirit (if not the practice) of anprim to simply outsource industry.

                Like I said at first, I think it (anprim) sounds nice but only as a kind of vague ideal. Fun to think about, but I can’t take it seriously as any kind of revolutionary aspiration. And again, I don’t think any of your examples (which are worth taking seriously, btw) are anything like my understanding of anprim.
