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?
