I’m not gonna ever be able to retire so I find myself more and more day dreaming about starting one but like with a few people with technology backgrounds and such so we can still have Internet connectivity. I don’t know many people who can grow food or build houses, let alone where would be a good place to squat for a commune. Plus I wouldn’t know how to go about dealing with pigs when they try and bust the place up. So instead I just wait for the empire to fall and hope I can find some good people that my family will be safe with lol.
It’s also true that even a well functioning commune could fail the transition to different political realities in various ways. The process of revolution can be a stress test to all existing social relations due to changes in material conditions.
