How do I go about setting about a commune? Are there any guides or steps that need to be taken so it doesn’t implode instantly if I attempt to go on with it? How many people can comfortably live on forty acres?

Unfortunately I'm out in the US and don't really have a timetable for when I would do this if I ever do. There are neighbors close by the cabin that we had originally purchased but away from that that it is just dirt roads and thick woods.

pointless unless you have the capital to produce infrastructure.
if you did, turn it into a co-op.

That's the main reason that I wouldn't plan to do this in the near future. My family is petty bourgeois but I myself really don't have much money
I couldn't think of any other way to do it

utopian socialism is gay and trash

There is nothing wrong with setting up communes and running co-operatives from them. It would be a mistake to think that founding communes is the solution to global capitalism, but to simply deride it as "gay and trash" is not an argument.

It isn't, it's a diagnosis. Your dumb idea is gay and trash, 200 years out of sync with socialist thought and hopefully will degenerate into a cult.

as a praxis its not really a solution but there's nothing wrong with a commune in itself.
