Luciano Rabemanjara (7 March 1896 – 22 October 1940) was a Jumbosan philosopher and politician that was among the creators of existentialism and has also been credited as the creator of anarchy-primitivism. Rabemanjara also became the Catalyst of the Zawu´hilian Primitivism-nationalism movement that mainly existed during 1938-1957. Rabemanjara was a unpopular philosopher and political activist, that was often called crazy and unhinged by other philosophers at the time, even though his works about existentialism gathered a following. Even though Rabemanjara didn't coin the term anarchy-primitivism, has he been credited by historians and philosophers as the creator of this political ideology, with the book Chains of Humanity credited as the first anarchy-primitivistic book. Despite being among one of the creators of existentialism, did Rabemanjara quickly branch away from other existentialists such as Martin Archambeau, Emile Boisclair and [[]]. He argued that even though humans were born free, and that existence came before essence, he also argued that as soon as a human became civilized and gained attributes someone would call characteristic for a human was that free will lost. This branch of existentialism is called Rabemanjarism, named after Rabemanjara himself.
Rabemanjara was born in Banu, a city on the island of Zuza, in 1896. He was born to a tribe chief father who owned a timber company, and spent most of his early life in Banu, getting prepared by his father to take over the role as the company owner and as the tribes chief. Luciano Rabemanjara attended Honorary University of Des Mann between age 20 and 23, but was offered a stipendium by the Grand University of Albertine after the publication of the philosophy essay The death of God and the collapse of humanity's ethic illusion. It was in Albertine that Rabemanjara developed existentialism together with fellow students Martin Archambeau, Emile Boisclair and [[]]. Rabemanjara would later radicalize and strive away from the classical existentialistic thought, and instead developed Rabemanjarism that fit his anarchy-primitivistic narrative. Luciano Rabemanjaro would move to the deep forests of Ile Auxerpents in 1937, where he would pursue his vision of anarchy-primitivism. He would die 3 years later by getting bitten by a venomous snake, an end that has been described as ironic by those who criticized him.
Regarded and cited as one of the most influential figures in the Zawu´hilian Primitivism-nationalism movement during 1938-1957, has most of Rabemanjara's theories since lost in popularity. Metaphysics and the fundamental nature of reality has remained one of his few works that has remained relevant, and it has been noted for its importance for metaphysics. Luciano Rabemanjara was controversial during life, and remained controversial long after his death.
