I remember a forum thread where commies discussed what they would do in a commune. Most picked "artist" or "community manager" (read: commissar), but there was one guy that picked "farmer." He admitted he's not that bright so he didn't mind physical work, but his fellow commies accused him of LARPing.
Of course. They always think they're the ones who are going to be cracking the whip. Little do they know their lack of useful skills means they'll be shoveling shit at gunpoint if they get what they want.
Honestly, given that their only life experience is advocating for revolution, I suspect they'll quite quickly find work supporting a building somewhere.
"The loudest in the hall will be the first against the wall."
These morons actually think they'll play the boot in the old "face vs boot" line, but useful idiots are always put down the moment they stop being useful.
I know a guy who actually was part of a commune at one point, and that's basically why it imploded.
One to three people doing all the serious work, while everyone else just took advantage of them and/or did a half-assed job when it came to be their turn.

No. Communism would only work if nobody was useless or lazy, and everyone kept up the same work ethic compared to if they were working for personal profit.
Communists in communes: "I did 1 hour of work, why isn't there food on the table, netflix and everything ready for me? What do you mean I need to do more work?!?!"
Okay on that point I kind of have to defend the younger generations because for those of us with actual economics knowledge the issue isn't working it's the fact that previous generations blatantly steal the earnings of future generations through debt and inflation before it even reaches out bank accounts. The problem is the anti-work leftists among others are fucking dumb and don't even know how to articulate themselves very well thanks to several years at universities and schools so they just regurgitate marxist talking points thinking they're edgy.
Unless of course you're smart like me and have managed to avoid every government scam under the sun so far. That's the one time I will actually flex my intellect hard lol.
Oh absolutely, it's like with feminists, however when it comes to older generations stealing from the younger generations I do feel like the younger generations have a legitimate gripe there however much the boomers might try to dismiss it and deny it by being arrogant.
I don't know, maybe it's because I finally have my own house now due to some very careful manoeuvres I appreciate all the more where they're coming from because honestly I was prepared to live in a field in the middle of nowhere if I had to so I could move out and be debt free. Even when you're completely earnest about moving out and getting work, you really are fucked these days unless you're prepared to start your own business and be completely psychotic.
That's also not taking into account stuff like diversity hiring which the younger leftists will blindly praise and refuse to acknowledge as a problem that's probably potentially preventing them from doing various things in life.
previous generations blatantly steal the earnings of future generations
"Previous generations" aren't doing that. The Federal Reserve is doing it. The only reason "previous generations" had it better than younger generations, financially, is that the Federal Reserve hadn't stolen as much wealth from the American public yet.
They consistently advocate and support central banking systems as well as the political structures enforcing it all. The only boomers I've seen going against this openly are people like Ron Paul and Mike Maloney and they're the ones who have my respect.
As much wealth is being stolen, a lot of it is still overblown. Yes, at a lower income of under $30k a year (outside of large cities) it's really going to be tough to save your scraps of money to make progress, but as you do, it gets easier. It should be possible for most Americans to claw their way to $50k a year in most fields, and at that point it's actually not too difficult to save money if you are very frugal.
Progressives seem like they're really good at twisting the meanings of words but actually they're just mentally deranged and can't comprehend the meaning of things.
They're desperately trying to run away from reality. Part of how they do that is to pollute the English language so that nothing means anything any more.
They're actually so stupid they think that living off grid requires living in a mass social organization, focused entirely on arbitrated social engineering via committee, and the re-distribution of assets based on those committees, while abolishing private property.
They don't understand people can have private ownership, and just trade resources naturally.
They love to pretend opponents of communism have a problem with voluntarily sharing and not state-mandated redistribution.
(And the horrific oppression and deadly famine that inevitably follows)
This reminds me of the Pertwee era story where the big enemy was a company that wouldn't stop polluting, and the underdog commune of brilliant minds would save the day.
The property looks photoshopped with an AI or very poorly maintained. There is no left side of the green house (or it’s overrun badly), parts of the yard is overrun except for some areas are trimmed as neatly as a golf course, and the plants on the house are nearly dead.
Commies hate actual communes. Hence the soviet union sending entire Christian communes into the gulags.
They wouldn't survive actual communes, they'd be outed as useless eaters way too fast.

You mean to tell me a functional community has no need for shit-tier poetry writers or crystal healers or astrologers or cat therapists?
Like Bernie Sanders.

Most of society is like that nowadays.
Plot twist: Comminism actually works if everyone isn't useless or lazy.
No. Communism would only work if nobody was useless or lazy, and everyone kept up the same work ethic compared to if they were working for personal profit.
Which means it will never work.
And most importantly of all, totally selfless. Everyone becomes lazy when you're busting your ass for almost zero personal gain
Communism only works under three conditions:
Every single person involved is competent and skilled, but seeks no advancement or better life.
Everyone trusts everyone else 100% with their very lives (and be right).
Everyone is fine with no progress or advancements in any part of life.
If any of these three things are missing, communism falls apart.
So it doesn't work?
This is exactly what happened when Bernie Sanders went to a Kibbutz.
"Why are you not working, comrade?"
"Well, I uhm, I'm not really good at anything... And that's a good thing."
"Get the fuck out."
Well I guess commies would see a single family home and think it’s enough space for a commune…
My local soviet told me that my house can fit 745 comrades. 230 of which are foreigners.
Atrocious ratio of natives to migrants. Report to the gulag + we're gonna powerwash your son's balls off.
username most fitting
And it's not hooked up to the electrical grid. They'll feel right at home.
Communists in communes: "I did 1 hour of work, why isn't there food on the table, netflix and everything ready for me? What do you mean I need to do more work?!?!"
Literally every anti-work redditor: "I can't believe that my survival depends on my work! This is literally slavery!"
Okay on that point I kind of have to defend the younger generations because for those of us with actual economics knowledge the issue isn't working it's the fact that previous generations blatantly steal the earnings of future generations through debt and inflation before it even reaches out bank accounts.

Is it possible to hate both the perpetrator and the victim? A question for great minds
Oh absolutely, it's like with feminists, however when it comes to older generations stealing from the younger generations I do feel like the younger generations have a legitimate gripe there however much the boomers might try to dismiss it and deny it by being arrogant.

You hit the nail on the head. People don't want to be used and discarded. That being said, life is not fair

Exactly. It's nihilism masquerading as a political orientation.
I mean, the type of people who hate Commies have a history of trying to go off the grid and live in small self sustaining communes in rare cases.
You can ask the ATF and the rest of the feds how willing they are to allow people to do such.
They're actually so stupid they think that living off grid requires living in a mass social organization, focused entirely on arbitrated social engineering via committee, and the re-distribution of assets based on those committees, while abolishing private property.
They don't understand people can have private ownership, and just trade resources naturally.
Remember, off the grid also includes your own personal security measures..
Living in an off-grid community and living in a commune are concepts that have nothing to do with each other.
Similar to owning the capitalists by supporting multinational corporations free of charge
They love to pretend opponents of communism have a problem with voluntarily sharing and not state-mandated redistribution. (And the horrific oppression and deadly famine that inevitably follows)
Owning the non-commies by inferring that not being hooked up to an electrical grid is communism...
