So post-civilization isn't actually against civilization by the sounds of it? Just the current exploitative civilization we have?

When people say something is 'civilised', they're turning their nose up at anything they consider 'uncivilised'. Picture an old-boy English imperialist wanker wearing a safari hat, strolling around Africa, telling everyone they're a bunch of uncivilised savages. Then think about the hardships and horrific injustices perpetrated on Africans for generations as the old-boys try to 'civilise' them... all the while enslaving them for their labour.
Civilisation is a word used by the rich to shame the poor into slavery.
