I hate how AnPrim as an axiom equates Technology/Civilization with Capitalism and then goes: See?! Bad!! Like... Yea, Capitalist Technology and Civilization is inherently exploitative, but social cooperation is the most human thing ever and literally what made us have these big thinky sponges in the first place; why not use those to build better Technology and Civilization? AnPrim seems inherently defeatist in that way
Anticivs aren't against human cooperation, they are against civilization. That's like saying socialists are against people freely cooperating and exchanging things which is also a very human thing.
It is kinda defeatist but kinda in a same way socialism is. "Why do need bloody revolutions, revolutionary terror and radical change in society? Can't we just tinker with policy until we have good non-crony capitalism that provides prosperity for everyone while keeping all the liberal freedoms we've come to enjoy, like right to property..."

Anprim sounds like a boomer strawman against hippies "oh so you want everyone to live in huts without technology growing vegetables"

It's antidialectical and that's really all that needs to be said.
