Primitivism 2. (in relation and consequence to Marxism)

Something that has been on my mind recently is the relation between historical materialism and Primitivism, especially since this is such a big part of the libertarian left in the United States. I also find myself often wondering if there is a trade-off between material well being and individual autonomy and spirituality, and I would have to say that this is an inevitable result of proletarianisation, and the development of the modern nation state and the myths used to justify it.

Put this way, a proletarian revolution is almost impossible in the three most developed nations (being the UK, or even just England, the US and a united Germany) or the nations that have been proletarianised the longest (i.e. where the process began contemporary to Messrs Bakunin and Marx)

A "workers revolution" would be impossible in other nations without the liquidation of the state. The state is itself a capitalist entity and works on the same laws. A "workers state" (surely a contradiction in terms anyway) would always be forced to compete with the "big three", so a proletarian revolution in roughly Marxist terms requires the total liquidation of the national and state institutions of Germany, the US and the UK.
