What if..... 7 neighbors each grew their own food. If 7 neighbors each harvested their food and the 7 neighbors helped each other to preserve the food, whether it was freezing, canning, or pickling, then one night of the week a neighbor cooked for all the 7 and their families, that would be supporting each other, their businesses and spreading love... it would be community.
It sounds nice, but what happens if one family wants to do their own thing one night. Or they don't like how one family prepares their meals. Now the other families are put out. This is why communal living and communism doesn't work. Freedom and indepedence are what we crave and that's why a capitalistic system works. So I'll barter you my chicken for your wheat and his beans for the other's eggs. And we'll get together a couple times a week while we spend time with our own families on the other days.
When it's a forced system it devolves into communal (communist) system. As an example, the kibbutz system in Israel was trying to actualize Marx's idea, but it failed miserably. Ask Senator Bernie Sanders about it. He was kicked out of a kibbutz because he was nothing more than a free-loader, who refused to work. Some things never change.
All of what I said is not 'real' and is Pollyannaish. It is however the basis for the 'kind' of thinking we need to have for helping thy neighbor. It has to be an act of love in order for such a system to possibly. I'm not saying it is unworkable, I'm just saying a concept such as this must be a shared act of love for it any community. The Amish come close to this and it works for them.
We need to engage in and support grass root community. I'm speaking in terms of the neighborhood one lives in. The way I see it, there are way too many distractions that are isolating each individual. The other day, I went out for breakfast at a local restaurant. Retired folks and farmers often frequent there. Yet there's always the 'other' people sitting at tables with their eyes glued to their smart phones never really looking to socialize with anyone. The only time it seems they are momentarily released from their cellular fixation is to stretch their bodies, but then they return to their dormancy. It really is sad.....
People really are social beings and to isolate ourselves is contrary to who we are. The Evil One always attempts to isolate those in order to destroy them. Way too many people are making it too easy for their own destruction. It ain't right. Could this explain the high rates of suicide in kids today?
Sounds like my Family
To me sounds a lot like communism. See above.
Not really… consensual community work between families isn’t communism. Communism is slavery. Communal living is optional in a capitalist society. Communism is opposed to the idea of options. I don’t meam to be aggressive or anything but don’t you think people should be able to consensually work together if they want to. If something creates a problem then they can settle it personally or legally.
It seems like a spit in the face of the free market to adopt socialist methods within your community... That's not what made America great. You should visit Venezuela if you want to see the results of your ideology.
