Communes. What’s old is new again.
Made to order for a grifter to infiltrate.
They will soon rob and physically attack neighbors who refuse to participate in their “experiment”.
And very soon Jane will get all butthurt because she washed one more dish than John and Jane will stab John with a kitchen knife.
Humans are not pack animals. Humans are alpha predators. Primal instinct is to survive at any cost.
It has just never been done correctly. They will get it right this time......
Yeah its called communism. Such a bold new concept. LOL!
My wife and I share all our money with each other. Imagine the headline: “A Radical Idea: Two Suburb-Dwellers Share All Their Money.”
And as with all communist arrangements, see what happens when someone in the collective doesn’t pull his weight.
Jesus and his buddies chose to this this.
Imagine the headline: “A Radical Idea: Thirteen Israel-Dwellers Share All Their Money.”
Called a tribe.
“Jenny brings in significantly more money than the other commune members. She says that some have been critical of the arrangement—the suggestion being that the guys are basically freeloading off of her. She doesn’t see it that way at all: “

This experiment will be over once one of them figures out they can retire early now.
Sure!!!
What could go wrong
IT’s not like the people with the most money will move out or anything... I guess we’ll have to make that illegal next.
I AM ALL FOR THIS IDEA!!
Start it now, and lets see how it works out, before we apply it to the whole country.
Their controlled experiment seems to work great for them... they have created a society, but a closed society. Those who are included have duties and responsibilities towards the others and they dwell in a great balance of trust and respect... But, lets have a stranger join them as a fifth and see how quickly things go bad. I’d bet it would be hours before days. It’s the “control” element that is the evil behind the snapshot: The self-control of the four, if not respected or reflected by the fifth would require adjustments to the balance and ... perhaps reeducation or other means of control...
This time communism will work!
If they are truly committed to a cenobitic lifestyle and have all embraced a vow of poverty with equal ardor they might make a go of it. Short of that, this little experiment falls under the classic definition of insanity, repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
If that’s what these free individuals want to do - fine with me. They can make it work, or not, on their own terms.
The problem, of course, with Leftists is they are, at heart, tyrants and fascists, and they often view it as some kind of ideal for society, and especially something that can or should be imposed on others by government force.
Poly-amorously?
If they want to form their own little communes, that’s their business. But when they try to force sharing on all of us through legislation we have a problem.
