Communalism was meant to be a prescriptive response to what he saw as a lack of actionable ideas, and also a desire to carve out a piece of the “New Left” pie.
Bookchin also basically disavowed his entire philosophy in the 90s.
He was never Anarcho-primitivist though. His whole thing was that technology could/would allow humans to reduce conflict with nature.
I was referring to kaczynski with the anprim stuff, and I was definitely being a bit reductive with bookchin. I view communalism as another set of tools in the libertarian toolbox to build a horizontal society. There’s just tons of overlap in the libertarian left sphere, ideology and praxis-wise
