Anarcho-Primitivism
Maybe farming was the mistake.
Anarcho-primitivists think the problem isn't capitalism or the state alone, but civilisation itself, starting with agriculture. Industry and technology, in this view, brought hierarchy, control and alienation. They look to hunter-gatherer life as proof that people can live without bosses or rulers.
What they'd say
Technology isn't neutral. It comes with a leash.
Hunter-gatherers worked less than you do.
Rewild everything.
