[Green politics] has always been interwoven with the development of anarchist philosophy as both greens and anarchists sponsor similar core concepts. The decentralisation of the state and the attainment of true autonomy and freedom are prominent throughout both (Davidson, 2009). Hobson (1999: 231), describes that the Palaeolithic hunter-gather societies are the idyllic embodiment of green philosophy; living within their means of nature and respecting the natural balance and are sometimes referred to as the original political ecologists. From this apparent harmonious [relationship] with nature emerges a lack of state authority. Diamond (1987) suggests the lack of farming technologies prevented the hoarding of material [resources] which translated into political dominance through control of these resources; much like what occurred during the development of medieval society. This technology we develop, Bookchin (2005: PP PLS) argues, is perfectly capable of existing without encroaching on the ecological balance. Rather, he suggests that environmentally aligned politics comes from a lacking sensibility and [understanding] of the ecology. In this sense, ecoanarchism, although rooted in deep history, has a firm grasp on the future. The hunter-gatherer societies it harkens back to can be regarded as truly free from a state while living in ecological means which is essentially the [ultimate goal] of green anarchists.
