       @Pixley imo true communal living requires accepting that lots of people want to keep to themselves and finding a way for everyone to contribute in a way that makes everyone the happiest as long as they're contributing to the common good!

       @realmaxkeeble I just hear a lot of "after the revolution I'll live in a big house with my friends and we'll grow all our food and so will everyone else!" and that just...isn't what I want, at all

       @Pixley I feel this a lot and thankfully far from all lefties dream of some awful self sustaining tiny anarchist commune.

       @Pixley and if you ask me, perhaps a hot take here, the core of leftism requires global and efficient cooperation which necessitates cities because of how much they help with infrastructure. You can't have a efficient utopia that leaves out all the people relying on the efficiency of product creation and consumption cities allow. For example medicine is a logistical nightmare in rural areas.

       @2015_05_09 yeah I think this is true, but also a lot of the reason things like medicine and social services are terrible in rural areas is that they're underfunded (if funded at all) and bad at communicating with each other. There's no reason we can't get insulin to people who need it but live on a farm, if we have the money and the people to do it.

       @Pixley yeah I'm not saying we should leave rural areas behind, but the logistics behind staffing and supplying hospitals with sometimes short shelf life drugs and meds is really hard, sometimes impossible, and always far costlier than having centralised hospitals that use up way more of their stock every day
