Editing Green anarchism (section)

==Theory==
Although a diverse body of thought, eco-anarchist theory has a fundamental basis unified by certain shared principles.{{Sfnm|1a1=Gordon|1y=2009|1p=1|2a1=Parson|2y=2018|2p=222}} Eco-anarchism considers there to be a direct connection between the problems of [[environmental degradation]] and [[hierarchy]], and maintains an [[anti-capitalism|anti-capitalist critique]] of [[productivism]] and [[industrialisation|industrialism]].{{Sfnm|1a1=Gordon|1y=2009|1p=1|2a1=Parson|2y=2018|2pp=222-223}} Emphasising [[decentralisation]] and [[community ownership]], it also advocates for the [[degrowth]] of the economy and the re-centring of social relations around [[Local community|local communities]] and [[bioregions]].{{Sfn|Gordon|2009|p=1}}

===Critique of civilisation===
Green anarchism traces the roots of all forms of oppression to the widespread transition from [[Hunter-gatherer|hunting and gathering]] to [[sedentary lifestyle]]s.{{Sfnm|1a1=Marshall|1y=2008|1p=688|2a1=Parson|2y=2018|2p=224}} According to green anarchism, the foundation of [[civilisation]] was defined by the [[extractivism|extraction]] and [[import]]ation of [[natural resource]]s, which led to the formation of [[hierarchy]] through [[capital accumulation]] and the [[division of labour]].{{Sfn|Parson|2018|pp=224-225}} Green anarchists are therefore critical of [[civilisation]] and its manifestations in globalized capitalism, which they consider to be causing a [[societal collapse|societal]] and [[ecological collapse]] that necessitates a "[[Back to nature|return to nature]]".{{Sfn|Marshall|2008|p=689}} Green anarchists uphold [[direct action]] as a form of resistance against civilisation, which they wish to replace with a way of [[simple living]] in harmony with [[nature]]. This may involve cultivating [[self-sustainability]], practising [[survivalism]] or [[rewilding]].{{Sfn|Marshall|2008|pp=688-689}}

=== Decentralisation ===
Eco-anarchism considers the rise of [[state (polity)|states]] to be the primary cause of environmental degradation, as states promote greater industrial extraction and production as means to remain competitive with other state powers, even at the expense of the environment.{{Sfn|Carter|2002|p=14}} Drawing from the ecological principle of "[[unity in diversity]]", eco-anarchism also recognises humans as an intrinsic part of the ecosystem that they live in and how their culture, history and language is shaped by their local environments.{{Sfn|Marshall|2008|p=689}} Eco-anarchists therefore argue for the abolition of states and their replacement with [[stateless society|stateless societies]],{{Sfn|Carter|2002|p=14}} upholding various forms of [[localism (politics)|localism]] and [[bioregionalism]].{{Sfnm|1a1=Gordon|1y=2009|1p=1|2a1=Marshall|2y=2008|2p=689}}

=== Deindustrialisation ===
Ecological anarchism considers the [[exploitation of labour]] under [[capitalism]] within a broader ecological context, holding that [[environmental degradation]] is intrinsically linked with societal [[oppression]].{{Sfn|Parson|2018|p=222}} As such, green anarchism is opposed to [[industrialisation|industrialism]], due to both its social and ecological affects.{{Sfn|Parson|2018|pp=222-223}}
