Fifth Estate - the longest-running anti-authoritarian/anarchist publication in America. Founded in Detroit, Michigan in 1965 by Harvey Ovshinsky, the paper was originally focused on civil unrest and revolution. A number of editors succeeded Ovshinsky after the 1970s, and the focus of the paper moved more towards being anti-civilization and anti-technology. It eventually came to be the focal point of the anarcho-primitivist movement. Since 2006 the editorial board has been decentralized, and issues are published out of Michigan, Tennessee, New York, and Wisconsin.
