Jacques Maurice Camatte (1935-2025) was a French writer and theorist. He began his intellectual career as a leading figure in the ultra left Bordigist movement, a doctrinaire current of Marxism. After breaking with Bordigism following the events of May 1968, he developed a radical critique of Marxism itself, of capitalism and of industrial civilisation. His work became highly influential on anarcho primitivism.
