Zerzan and Pacific Northwest anarcho-primitivism
In 1995 a full-page interview with Zerzan was featured in the New York 
Times. Another significant event that shot Zerzan to celebrity 
philosopher status was his association with members of the Eugene, 
Oregon anarchist scene that later were the driving force behind the use 
of black bloc tactics at the 1999 anti-World Trade Organization 
protests in Seattle, Washington. Anarchists using black bloc tactics 
were thought to be chiefly responsible for the property destruction 
committed at numerous corporate storefronts and banks.[24]
News media coverage started a firestorm of controversy after the riots 
and Zerzan was one of those that they turned to to explain the actions 
that some had taken at the demonstrations. After gaining this public 
notoriety, John Zerzan began accepting speaking engagements and giving 
interviews around the world explaining anarcho-primitivism and the more 
general Global Justice Movement. Recently Zerzan has been involved, 
however tempestuously, with the Post-left anarchist trend, which argues 
that anarchists should break with the Left, which they believe is mired 
in ideology and mostly concerned with seizing state power and crushing 
individual freedom.
Zerzan is currently one of the editors of Green Anarchy, a journal of 
anarcho-primitivist and insurrectionary anarchist thought. He is also 
the host of Anarchy Radio in Eugene on the University of Oregon's radio 
station KWVA 88.1FM. The program airs on Tuesday nights from nine to 
ten Pacific time, and hosts take calls at 541-346-0645. He is still a 
contributing editor at Anarchy Magazine and has been published in 
magazines such as AdBusters. He does extensive speaking tours around 
the world, and is married to an independent consultant to museums and 
other non-profits.
