I lived for six years in an income-sharing egalitarian commune and that wasn't bad, I didn't handle money for months at a time, and I didn't have to put up with any kind of boss lording over me all day. I had a lot of control over my own life and personal freedom on a day to day basis, much more than I do know working in corporate amerika. Only problem is it was basically only one of two large-scale secular communes in the country thats not some sort of crazy cult or has some hierarchical power structure with a charsmatic leader, etc and I decided I wanted to live in more than one place in my adult life. Since I don't see the proletariat taking over and establishing a classless society anytime soon, what is one to do? I don't feel much better off than a chattel slave right now. I hate hierarchy. Please don't tell me to move to Cuba ( I don't want Castro lording over me, either) or try to shove your bourgeois ideology down my throat either.

Well, theres not much you can really do, besides moving to a communsist country. Maybe try China, they say they're communist but their economic system works like capitalist. China is a question mark. Well, I've living in America is a very busy life. I live in Australia, it isnt as busy as America try somewhere like here or New Zealand, where life is less busier and easier. Good Luck in the future, whatever you do. Regards.

The closest in this current world you're going to get to liveable Communism is the socialism of Europe.

Are you serious? Where in the world can you find an true egalitarian community? There really is not any place that has no sense of hiearchy. Lots of your theories and beliefs lead me to believe that you are a neo-Marxist. When you mention that you don't see the proletariat taking over, you are wrong. The working class people do run this country. We are the ones that decide who represents us in cogress, the white house, etc.. Your hauty-tauty words come from the former communist manifesto himself...Karl Marx. I will leave you with one thought... It is better to be a good ordinary bourgeois than a bad ordinary bohemian!

since you have left no option given your lengthy statement. The only options I can suggest are plant vegetation and live from that, include some livestock as well. Pick a communist country and the last is jump from the tallest building.
