Homestead community where we divide responsibility and use barter system is the only way to push through the events that will follow when ww3 comes in a few months. Discuss how we will manage and how "money" or "credit" will work hereafter /out/
The only way to manage it is with a central power that taxes the residents for their produce and then redistributes them so that every person has enough to live on. You could have monetary system that is backed by something real, if not just silver you could use silver coins which are backed by something like alcohol? Something which people will always want.
How about this? Why don't you join one of those communes formed in the 60's. I'm sure they didn't all fail after a few years. And in case that doesn't work, talk to your real world friends that you definitely have and definitely start a commune with them, instead of posting about it on the internet.
>>2792186the barter system doesnt work when youre all growing the same shit. either youre self-sufficent or you arent, you cant do role diversification and insist on substinence farming.
>>2792197silver and other precious metals are flawed; they are precious because of societys value for them. if im in the middle of nowhere totally seceded from the world I also dont have a goldsmith, or any value for something that wont help grow my food or reduce my labor. some useless plentiful item like bottlecaps is a better alternative unironically; but alcohol or another non-perishable semi-luxury good thats only mildly complex and expensive to attain is king, i believe.and the obvious choice for government is some form of democracy.

>>2792330Thats why you back them with alcohol. So 1 coin is worth a standard amount of alcohol. This gives them value. Do you understand?
>>2792186Is there a worse /out/ country than the Netherlands? I can't think of one besides warzones and microstates
>>2792186There are already projects like this but more communist than with money.>>2792350It's fine if you love coasts and salt marshes I guess.
>>2792348ill give you 2 beers for one of your wives pies, and i still got a whole pack if you wanna help me put this fencing up sometime.
>>2792186The problem is unless you live in the rural boroughs of Alaska, you will always have to pay some sort of property tax or income tax or rent/mortgage. So the only places to really do this are Siberia, Alaska, and turd world countries with zero regulations. People really do it in Alaska and Siberia though, they need more people to become sustainable however. You either do it right with zero concept of money, go pure barter fiat with no gold or silver BS (like the 1700s USA), or you're an unsustainable larper that pays taxes and mortgages.
>>2792674Oh and for reference, to be sustainable in Alaska or Siberia you need about 15-30 acres of birch forest a person, just to cover 9 months of running the furnaces and rotate plots. There's enough land for 640 acres a person though, for up to 150k people, more in Siberia. Most people lived like this (completely off grid sustainable communities, even made their own sugar from beets) in Siberia until the communists ruined everything post 1910s.
>>2792677And in case anyone is wondering how commies ruined the traditionalist way of life in Russia. They weren't true communists, they were centralized bankers (eastern jews) that subsidized and incentivized city and industrial living in exchange for the traditionalist sustainable lifestyle (which was viewed as a continuation of feudal and religious systems, even if folks held the land themselves in small holdings and made villages out of their holdings without a lord), the commie perspective was to get everyone into comblocs and working in industrial factories for the glorious cause of the central bankers pyramid scheme. Being independent and sustainable and holding your own land and actually living off of it, is severely destabilizing to any central authority.
>>2792679This is partly why my cunt is today concreting whole areas and putting up side-by-side deanoboxes with no possibility of growing anything of note.
