      Depends on the historical context. I think at this point we're dealing with a leviathan over which no individual has any real control, so talk of changing society from the top down is at best worthless. You're better off preparing for what comes next.https://twitter.com/xueshang/status/1161210220984643584 …

      Do you think the ideas always come post-hoc? Or can they inspire certain groups to strive for specific modifications?

      Personally, I'm going with the Fight Club scenario: hoping all the credit card records are destroyed in the apocalypse

      More to the point: I genuinely wish @TheBrometheus the best in his family-centric endeavor. Unfortunately, he's fighting against an individualist society dominated by a leviathan government, and the problem is exacerbated by the Internet. There's a reason such schemes fail.

      I personally owned a 10 acre estate on which I lived with my family and my father in law (in a 2nd house). It was fine while it lasted, but even in that limited communal arrangement there was friction, and in the end I couldn't hold it together.

      There were a lot of reasons for that failure. I made mistakes, to be sure. But in the end, our society makes it easy to drift apart and hard to stay together. That's what you're going to be fighting, even if you're a better man than I.

      Unless you can somehow affect the situation external to your commune to restrict the choices of those inside it, you're probably going to fail. So the next step is to start appealing to leviathan to make it harder for people to leave the commune.

      And that, as I've said, is at best futile and at worst an invitation to totalitarianism.

      It's not a coincidence that many of the same people who advocate this sort of communal living also advocate for laws against pornography and even blasphemy. They know they can't keep people in without making the outside as unappealing as the inside.

      So in the end, this quasi-feudal vision isn't significantly different from Communism. Nobody is stopping people in free societies from living in communes. They just choose not to. So now what? Eliminate the choice. Nah, I'll take my chances on individual freedom.

      Given that context, it does sound awful. I’ll be going a different route.

          I genuinely hope so, too. Gonna build it as carefully as I can and teach the benefits. Maybe descendants will hook into it, maybe they won’t. All I can do is give them the tools and educate them on cost-risk analysis for inside and outside the family.
