Back to Basics: 325 and the Renewed Critique of Technological Civilisation

From Global Network on Extremism and Technology by Mauro Lubrano

This Insight examines the return of 325, an insurrectionary anarchist zine, and the renewed prominence of anti-technology positions in its 13th issue, titled “Back to Basics.” This 76-page-long document, originally released in March 2025 with the PDF online version circulating later in September, articulates a worldview that regards advanced technologies not as neutral tools but as a totalising system of domination, a “mega-machine” that both enslaves and alienates. This framing has increasingly tangible consequences as similar narratives appear in communiqués claiming attacks on technology-related infrastructure and supply chains. The current trajectory of insurrectionary anarchist anti-tech discourse and practice reflects a deeper unease with the accelerating pace of technological change that intersects with pre-existing anarchist, primitivist, and eco-extremist traditions.

Shaping Anarchist Narratives

From Anarchist Agency

Why it’s Important to Engage the Mainstream Media

Core to our mission at Agency is to raise the profile of anarchist ideas and the anarchist movement, and to influence the way they are treated in public conversation. Understandably, anarchists have long questioned the value of talking to the corporate-controlled, mainstream media since they so often mischaracterize and misrepresent anarchists and anarchist ideas. So why talk to them?
