Survivalism is the belief that one must be prepared to survive a major catastrophe by stocking up on food and weapons. A survivalist therefore is a person who anticipates and prepares for a future disruption in local, regional or worldwide social or political order. Survivalists often prepare for this anticipated disruption by learning skills (e.g., emergency medical training), stockpiling food and water, or building structures that will help them to survive (e.g., an underground shelter).
On March 13, the source files for the song were released in GarageBand format at NIN[[nin.com]]. "Survivalism" is the third NIN song to be officially released as source files—"[[Only (song)|Only]]" and "[[The Hand That Feeds (song)|The Hand That Feeds]]" were previously released.

'''''Running Time: 4:19'''''
Included on the ''Survivalism'' single and ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D,'' this remix was created by Williams and [[Thavius Beck]]. The music isn't as guitar-driven as the album version and the chorus consists of Reznor's vocals with Williams' vocal contributions reduced significantly. The breakdown repeats the lyric "All a part of this great nation." There is also hand-clap percussion over pulsating beats and some distortion on Reznor's vocals at some points in the song. Although it may not seem as heavy as the original, it's still heavy in terms of percussion.

'''''Running Time: 4:32'''''
David Andrew Sitek is member of [[TV On The Radio]], who opened for [[Nine Inch Nails ]] during the [[Live: With Teeth ]] tour. This remix was originally available as a UK-only iTunes download. It came as a free bonus track packaged with the full album download of ''Year Zero.'' It is alternatively available on the [[Capital G (halo)|''Capital G'' single]]. It is akin to the original song sound-wise, but features a heavier and more plodding drum line. Additionally, it enhances Williams' back up vocals and makes them more prominent than in the original. The structure and length of the song remains relatively unchanged.

Filming for the "Survivalism" [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music video ]] began on February 5, 2007. It was directed by [[Alex Lieu]], [[Rob Sheridan]], and Reznor, and produced by [[Susan Bonds]]. The video was "leaked" to the internet via flash drives found dotted around the venue by people attending the Nine Inch Nails concert in London on March 7, 2007.
