“In the previous phase of capitalist domination we worked so that we could consume, whereas in the current phase we have to constantly consume so that work exists. The anti-development struggle aims to break this vicious cycle, which is why it is based on the negation of both work and consumption”.

“The wounds that mass society inflicts on the individual are real indicators of the dominant lie. The individual’s lack of integration into his or her environment is literally traumatic: the loss of common references, anonymity and fear lead to the collapse of socialisation, a lack of solidarity, a neurotic desire for safety, extremely dysfunctional behaviour and to everything which paves the pathological way for bulimia, anorexia, addiction, compulsive consumption, hypochondria, stress, depression and other modern syndromes”.

“Our critique of science, technology and the industrial system is a critique of progress. And in the same way it is a critique of the ideologies of science and progress, not least the workerist ideology, in both reformist and revolutionary guise, which is based on taking over, in the name of the proletariat, the bourgeois industrial system and its technology”.

“The anti-industrial land-defence cause is the only one that raises the social question in its entirety because, more than any other struggle, it is a struggle for life. It is a class war for the 21st century”.

“With the irreversible loss of their identity, towns are turning into carbon copies of one and the same town or, even worse, parts of single octopus-like megalopolis, nodes in the global financial network”.

“The anti-industrial critique does not deny the class struggle, it preserves and surpasses it and, moreover, class struggle cannot exist in today’s world other than in the form of anti-industrial struggle”.

“Technology is an instrument and a weapon because it benefits those who know best how to use it and how to be used by it. The bourgeoisie have used machines and the ‘scientific’ organisation of work against the proletariat. No revolt against domination can really represent the general interest unless it turns itself into a rebellion against technology, a Luddite revolt”.
