Totalitarian anarchist theories that explain that industrial civilization itself is the problem are taking hold amongst the environmentally concious radical young - authors such as Derrick Jenson - and so smashing the state is no longer the end game. Its industrial technology also. This kind of thinking is a short-cut for actually thinking, its apocalyptic, totalitarian and millenarian. This totalitarian anarchism provides a framework that justifies any kind of destructive act against "industrial civilization".
In many ways it shares much of fascism. An anti-intellectualism, a romantic idealism about a return to a past perfection by destroying the corrupt present. The creation of a super human through a period of trials and tribulation. A festish for violence, destruction, purity. An unwillingess to compromise. A totalistic worldview impervious to alternatives and to inquiry. An idealization of past martyrs and a canon stripped of all nuance and context.
---- Yes, as Hitler put it so eloquently: "Better an end with horror than horror without end."
