Like what is the enforcement mechanism for “nobody is allowed to grow crops or build things anywhere on Earth”
Or do they actually expect the entire global population to unanimously decide they don’t want potable water or antibiotics anymore

The anprim vision of society is primitive communism, small social units, and deindustrialization. The enforcement mechanism is consensus. Probably some particularly dedicated super-Ludds would be given to roaming around smashing water wheels or whatever, but they’d also die of cholera pretty fast. Most of the modern anprim writing I’ve seen is pretty firmly in the post-/anti-civ zone rather than re-enacting an imagined pre-civilization lifeway.
They’d probably die of being killed by the people whose water wheels they smashed quicker, TBH.
So it is, in fact, “they actually expect the entire global population to unanimously decide they don’t want potable water or antibiotics anymore (or at least close enough to suppress everyone else)”?
I am not well-versed enough in these concepts to understand the difference and would like to know more
Only inasmuch as communists “expect the global population to unanimously decide they don’t want capitalism anymore” I guess. They’re not expecting this to happen by magic, they’re expecting to convince people of their ideas then form communities of people who share those ideas.
And if we’re going to separate the people who actually think and have theory and write stuff down and are in any way serious from the people who are trolling on the internet, then “we don’t want potable water or antibiotics” is a position held only by the latter group. It isn’t necessary to dismantle every single aspect of the current society we live in in order to do away with the parts which are harmful.
We don’t at all, that’s why this site has emotes like
, we freely acknowledge that a non-trivial number of people oppose our project and thus implementing that project requires violently suppressing them.
Yes, that is what I said.
Okay but my main question is how they intend to impose their project upon everyone else.
I already answered that question, unless you mean that you think a system must be imposed on literally every person globally all at once in order to be considered successful.
Where?
Anprim as a movement considers the existence of an agricultural society anywhere on the face of the Earth an intolerable threat that must be annihilated, so yes their definition of “victory” necessarily entails the ability to enforce their vision on the entire world (or at least all the arable parts).
In the first paragraph in my first comment in this thread.
“They’re not expecting this to happen by magic, they’re expecting to convince people of their ideas then form communities of people who share those ideas.”
Are you interested in learning or are you here to tell everyone about what you’re pretty sure anprims believe?
