Social primitivism is a political ideology based around wealth redistribution combined with an opposition to modern technology. The ideology first emerged in Yesteria during the Yesterian Anti-Technological Revolution in 1779, when peasants in Yesteria rose up in opposition to the industrial revolution and the emergent capitalist class.

Socialist ideals

Adherents of social primitivism's economic and social beliefs are similar to those of socialists, while retaining some distinctive characteristics and a predominantly rural focus. Due to the nature of the anti-technology portion of social primitivism, a society run on this ideology, like Yesteria, would necessarily mean most of the population lives a rural lifestyle.
