  • Well I’d be willing to invest everything I have, though by myself it wouldn’t cover much beyond some land and I already have tools and skills for building but it would require a couple other people with some amount of money, a few able bodies obviously as well. The construction would have to be mostly reclaimed building materials/harvested from the land. Rammed earth is literally dirt cheap, and a few trees from the land would go a long way. Most of the people I know claim to be socialists or MLs or some form of leftists and have some accumulated wealth but so far no one seems willing to actually do anything in real concrete terms. Also zoning laws and building codes are a nightmare to navigate when you are using alternative construction methods beyond something like straw bales around here. Logistics can be overcome, but without a few other people it’s hard to form a collective, hence my disappointment. I’m partially disabled and my window of opportunity is closing with age but that just means I work slower which only matters to capitalist exploiters who want economic output. Anyhow it’s been a thing I’ve been working on, I still haven’t given up. I guess it’s just sheer obstinance.















  • Sadly it’s the only real form of socialism in the US. That’s how they lure the kids in. Housing, clothing, healthcare, education, food. All taken care of. Fucking tragic really. With the utter lack of class consciousness and the propagandized world views that exist in the country it’s easy to sign up and feel comfortable and justified for a full 20 year career. Then they can go around and say they were in such and such branch and 99% of the time hear “Thank you for your service.” in reply. It’s like some nationalistic necromantic incantation.






  • Slightly off topic but I am somewhat curious to see how they twist the little blue commies to suit a capitalist narrative since Peyo is long dead. I remember away back when my young friend’s ultra Christian mom forbade him to watch the Smurfs because they were “Satanic” and “promoted the occult”. She would have lost it knowing that I played D&D (this was during the height of the Satanic Panic) LOL. She completely missed the fact they were communists and Papa Smurf was basically cartoon Karl Marx (maximum cold war era too). Too bad the antisemitic and sexist tropes tarnish the whole collectivism angle. I bet his mom would have approved of THOSE parts though. Ahh, memories.
