There’s a paradox which revolves around the contradictions between rural and urban. We all know cities are socially left and rural is socially right, but cities are economically right and while rural isn’t economically left it’s less right than the cities.
Poorer urban areas are an option however I would like to also raise the perspective that here are small towns which are cheaper, safer, and just as open minded (the capability towards becoming socially left) as the poorer/more affordable parts of cities. The cheaper is due to the economic imbalance between the capital in rural vs the capital in urban…specifically their capacity, the scale is lower in rural. The crime is due to the lowered contradictions which occur at heightened levels in cities due to a higher amount of economic activity and thus capital. The open minded is simply economics of class manifested at the social level. As well there are less pigs and surveillance infrastructure…by about 90%, and there are countless acres of wooded areas to develop skills for conflict within.
There are draw backs too though; poor rural areas have less jobs, have a stronger “hangover” of pette bourgeois mentality due to their relatively higher stability and lowered contradictions, and of course I cannot recommend such areas for our most oppressed comrades if these locations reside within red states however this phenomena is not limited to red states.
Each has it’s positives and negatives and it’s up to the specifics of each situation to decide which one will aim for.
I can affirm the open mindedness of small towns. I was just in one that seemed near as new age and radLibby (not really in a bad way) as I imagine Portland Oregon is.
