I like the idea of being sustainable, growing your own food, and living naturally. I used to dream about starting a commune or homestead, but now I’m starting to think the idealization of it is petty bourgeois and part of the settler mindset.

We don’t need more socialists leaving society, we need more urban farming and an end to monoculture.

I’ve read about it in the past but trying to see the specifics has been more difficult. I’ve been intrested in programs like this for a long time but I definitely need to read more about the details. And yeah, Covid should be kept in mind. I will account for that when looking
I think on here or Hexbear you’re bound to run into somebody that knows somebody that might say something. If you’re interested in learning about Neozapatismo they have Autonomous Government textbooks you can find easily by searching and there’s a book I particularly liked called Autonomy is In Our Hearts.
