To be fair, The term "Google" is often used as a shorter way of saying "Search online for." It's like an atheist saying "Oh my god."

There's so much that irritates me about that whole sentence "Google Murray Bookchin", what kind of anarchists a) uses Google, and b) gives a shit about Murray Bookchin?

Any feedback on this piece I wrote before I submit it to theanarchistlibrary?

Also, on a personal level, I'd rather you found a different term than 'Green Anarchist' for the final section. Green Anarchist is an umbrella term for many different schools of thought including Post-Scarcity Anarchism, so it's kind of exclusionary to use that term in your critique
Green anarchy has always meant 'anticiv anarchist' so I don't think it's exclusionary to use the term just because social ecologists have recently decided to appropriate it. It would be easier if you just used the term 'eco-anarchist' so people aren't confused by adherents of destructive industrial ideologies calling themselves 'green'. There are no green factories.
I don't think it's fair to both dismiss Communalism as authoritarian and complain about Bookchin dismissing anarcho-primitivism as authoritarian.
There's a clear history of Bookchin being attracted to authoritarianism - after all, he was a tankie for much of his life and provided ample fuel to future generations of tankies with his anti-anarchist "lifestylism" screeds that are now parroted verbatim on tankie forums. Anarcho-primitivism doesn't have that legacy. I also documented his descent back into something resembling authoritarian ideology with his own quotes, culminating with this:
The minority must have patience and allow a majority decision to be put into practice... Municipal minorities [must] defer to the majority wishes of participating communities.

Not really. I just like his voice more than anything. I used to listen to him on long commutes. There's some gold in his later interviews - this was a person with half a century of activism behind them after all

So you ignore everything after he parted ways with anarchism to form communalism?

What engages you about "social ecology" / "post-scarcity anarchism"?
