I think this should be the evidence people cite as to why modern communes do not work at all. Especially when it comes to basing one on stupid gender and sexual fetishes. All they have accomplished is abusing Alpaca's and trashing up a house. Commune's used be based on survival, were by if 1 guy died. It would fuck the rest of you, so you took care of people. But as their situation is not life or death. It turned in to more of a club house then to a shithole.
It is no wonder the low life trash turned up, when you don't (or in this case blocked by gender politics) have standards about the people you hang around and can be checkmated by someone else's made up genders.
But it has been a funny ride to read all about. Got to give them that.
I actually haven’t considered that angle.
At least with a traditional commune one could reasonably expect if not professionals, then people with casual skills or experience in useful areas.
Most people who haven’t settled into a career usually have tried a few jobs and have a bit of knowledge here and there.
Perhaps they know enough from site labouring to do a bit of bricklaying or carpentry?
I would guess that in Colorado there will be casual labor opportunities on ranches and farms so drifters and whatnot will have picked up some rural skills.
Then fast food and retail former employees would at least have some rudimentary cooking, stock control and maybe some first aid skills.
When you try to make a commune with a bunch of dropouts, basement dwellers and internet educated fools, it’s bad enough.
They won’t particularly even have the skills to run a household or homemake.
When you market a key element of your commune being a place of therapy and rest for disturbed people, you actively need real psychology professionals and at least one qualified MD, potentially a pharmacist, and support nurses.
You can’t just assume that trans people will know what to do, especially as trans individuals are usually self absorbed and unable to understand how other people feel about their “dysphoria” and “transition”.
This really was like if a Steiner esque psychologist tried to cure insanity by allowing an asylum full of severely mentally ill people to do each others therapy as and how it occurred to them.
