I like the idea of being sustainable, growing your own food, and living naturally. I used to dream about starting a commune or homestead, but now I’m starting to think the idealization of it is petty bourgeois and part of the settler mindset. Starting some farm in the wilderness is very reminiscent of the western frontier, and the homestead act which I am myself a beneficiary of. We don’t need more socialists leaving society, we need more urban farming and an end to monoculture.
What do y’all think about it?
You’d never have enough bodies to defend it even if you did manage to take it. Do you have access to bombers, dogfighters, drones, or anti-aircraft embankments? Nah. None of us do. It’s the same place I hit roadblocks trying to ‘modernize’ the concept of a true New Afrikan nation; is how do you set up shop in the Adversary’s backyard and then keep what you took? 'Cause keeping it a buck, even NFAC wasn’t managing that and to even get your foot in the door, you had to already own a rifle in the AR platform.
Likely a waste of time and effort, even if your only goal is to escape society.
