Are there any stories where some part of Earth doesn't industrialize and instead stays at a low-tech agrarian level, or doesn't take up agriculture, and stays hunter-gatherer?

No, Ted is 100% correct and there is no other solution. Anyone else that disagrees is either brainwashed, or a total conformist coward loser.

Chime in if you've read at least one of Kaczynski's books (Technological Slavery or Anti-Tech Revolution), if you finished it, and if not how far into it you got.

He was right about everything. His critics arguments are all extremely feeble and silly.

yes, or course, when the government isn't trying to silence him by placing all sorts of stupid restrictions on his mail.

Read 'em both.

This thread is BASED.

probably pic related if they start catching on.

this. x10,000.

By far one of the most important things to read today.

complete BS. you're either lying or you have the shitiest memory. he says the exact opposite: the left is the systems first line of defense against a revolution to destroy the technosystem. the left supports technological values. he writes about this everywhere, but this is straight from the first 6 pages of Technological Slavery:

"The political left is technological society’s first line of defense
against revolution. In fact, the left today serves as a kind of fire extinguisher
that douses and quenches any nascent revolutionary movement.
What do I mean by “the left”? If you think that racism, sexism, gay rights,
animal rights, indigenous people’s rights, and “social justice” in general
are among the most important issues that the world currently faces, then
you are a leftist as I use that term. If you don’t like this application of the
word “leftist,” then you are free to designate the people I’m referring to
by some other term. But, whatever you call them, the people who extinguish
revolutionary movements are the people who are drawn indiscriminately
to causes: racism, sexism, gay rights, animal rights, the environment,
poverty, sweatshops, neocolonialism… it’s all the same to them.
These people constitute a subculture that has been labeled “the adversary
culture.”5 Whenever a movement of resistance begins to emerge, these leftists (or whatever you choose to call them) come swarming to it like flies
to honey until they outnumber the original members of the movement,
take it over, and turn it into just another leftist faction, thereby emasculating
it. The history of “Earth First!” provides an elegant example of this
process.6"

--Kaczynski, Technological Slavery (2019), p. 6.

That's really cool Anon! These are his only two works but they are both well worth reading. I know he is a bit of a meme on this board but honestly, he is really good and very thorough.

"Apparently the threat represented by nuclear weapons has not
undermined people’s well-being enough to lead to the abolition of these
weapons. If there is ever a major nuclear war, people’s well-being will be
undermined very dramatically; but then it will be too late.
Right now biotechnicians are playing with fire. The escape from the
laboratory of some artificially-created organisms or genetic material could
have disastrous consequences, yet nothing is being done to restrain the
biotechnicians. If there is ever a major biological disaster, people’s wellbeing
will indeed be undermined, but then it will be too late to correct
the problem. For example, the so-called “killer bees” are a hybrid of
South American and African bees that escaped from a research facility
somewhere in South America. Once the bees had escaped, all efforts to
stop them proved futile. They have spread over much of South America
and into the U.S. and have killed hundreds of people.151 With the experimentation
in biotechnology that is now going on, something much, much
worse could happen."

--Kaczynski, Technological Slavery (2019), pp. 182-83.

It's POSSIBLE that it was engineered. But even if not, this epidemic now shows the horrific risks that will inevitably come with biotechnology.

Definitely read Technological Slavery first. It's the introduction to the worldview and philosophy of pro-wilderness and anti-tech anti-civilization.

Then read Anti-Tech Revolution.

Any good books about social revolutions other than Mao, Lenin, Trotsky, and other leftists?

I mean the principles and dynamics of revolutions--insights that can be applied by organizers.
