I will have my own land, it will not be shared. Though having agreements between fellow men in the community about keeping our land looking nice, that's fine. But it will be us that keeps our land looking good.
@thatdudeiscool brings up a good point
it's better and easier if we have a few shared resources and buildings
so we will not have a central power station that will most cost effectively provide it will be individualized
In a rural community, it might just be better to set up your own individual power supply
how do other farmers and homesteaders do it these days?
what we really need is a single wealthy dude to buy up around a hundred or so acres, and then parcel out lots for people who want to buy them
well a farmer wont sell their tilled acreage...its the only part that generates a product so it is off limits otherwise you have no farm no matter how many descendants may take it over one day and wish to divide it
and then parts of the land could have communal buildings or resources
im sure there are normal, legal ways to purchase multiple lots from a single seller
yeah but isn't that functionally the same thing?
yeah, the funny thing with the collective ownership being most effective thing is that it's literally always failed
yeah it never works
and lefty communes try it over and over again
@Orlunu a farm can exist a a family for hundreds of years without a clear beneficiary and its still technically shared or collectivized land to the family
yeah but there's always a sole owner, or it can be held in a trust
though I don't know a whole lot about the legal mumbo jumbo with that
missing some important word early on there, but family ownership and community collective ownership are very much the same thing
unless we're going to have a community patriarch in this model who makes the decisions for the "household"
so fi you cant portion off a majority of the ladn for uses like farming who will be able to farm
it doesnt matter but if you do not use community funding for certain projects you will never be a community...i could jsut farm and sell it to china if it was up to me
but the community expects community treatment without the investment
none of what you're saying matches history
there have been plenty of non-communist communities
this is not a government with millions of people
again, non-sequitur
didn't say it was
i dont think you need any kind of a collective owndership to have a functioning community. There are otherways to ensure the strength of a community, such as normal personal relationships
yeah it doesn't need to be codified into rule
because small communities already operate along strong communal ties
they're functionally socialst, without being explicitly politically socialist
ehh are they?
in what way?
yeah if your neighbor needs help raising a barn
you're going to help him
without asking for compensation
it's not even charity
it's just being neighborly
they also started when land could be bought for 5 bucks an acre...if i could buy land for that it wouldnt be a problem with needing to essentially crowdfund
