Beyond the braindead justifications of the liberal order and other ideological excrescences, Marx would be a great counter-point to the anti-industrial trend in anarchism and post-situationism. Of course any serious revolutionary studies both.

yes, that is what Kaczynski is saying, hence his strategy laid out in anti-tech revolution.

Does Ted ever actually explain how getting rid of technology will make the world a less violent hellhole? What does he imagine people will do all day?

No and that’s not the point.
His point is humans, through evolution, are better adjusted to living in a violent hellhole than whatever the fuck modern society is supposed to be. He says mental issues of today stem from being unable to spend all day satiating your natural drives and instead not only having to surprise them but also having to find replacements for the „power process“, meaning exhausting yourself as a *direct* means of satiating your desires
It’s kinda similar to Nietzsche saying Pessimism and Depression don’t arise out of the cruelty of the world but from humans being ashamed of themselves and their violent nature, seeing the cruelty not as something to be overcome and retaliated but as something to escape from.

kaczynski does not advocate for violence other than its strategic application to the revolution. in no way shape or form does he exalt violence like fascists do, based on a shaky, idealistic reinterpretation of darwinism. in fact he thinks violence is primarily civilized and a function of the state, of course: he's a materialist. your post is otherwise correct, just clearing it up for those who havent read TK

James Dale Davidson and William Rees-Mogg's The Sovereign Individual.
Peter Thiel's Zero to One.
Saifedean Ammous's The Bitcoin Standard (You can ignore the bitcoin shilling, it is the effects of hard money and soft money that matters in the book).

As for philosophers, I have no clue. Perhaps implicitly Rene Girard is one, but that is reaching too much. Ted Chiang is not necessarily a philosopher but his scifi story collection is rather mindbending—I wouldn't be surprised if he (albeit slightly) influenced or predicted the future decades from now.

The concept of utility is all wrong. The true purpose should not be to maximize happiness, nor productivity, but maximize survival and reproduction. Work with evolution, not against it.
