Liberty should be spread, not fenced in.

Unfortunately, those who would attempt to protect themselves in such compounds will NOT survive when the SHTF or they “resist”.

Our government has built (with our money) an arsenal like no other in the world. It would be quite simple to take such a compound off the map.

I agree 100%. But then we do have people who have castle karma, whose activity is predicated on the mistaken concept that form can be an ultimate protection against impermanance. We both know better, and we both likely know a lot more about maintaining a free and well favored birth than 99% of the people who read this.

Many of us have learned many lessons from the East, and we noticed that the castle doctrine did nothing to save South Vietnam.

Yes Liberty should be spread , not fenced in. Francis Marion would have agreed.

Should liberty be fenced in with the concept of 'should?' ;-)

What these people are doing isn't my cup of tea and if I were going the communal route I would do it quite differently but I applaud them for trying. Without the freedom to try things, to fail at them and to learn from our mistakes do we really have liberty?
