Opinion on homesteading? (lemmygrad.ml)

I like the idea of being sustainable, growing your own food, and living naturally. I used to dream about starting a commune or homestead, but now I’m starting to think the idealization of it is petty bourgeois and part of the settler mindset. Starting some farm in the wilderness is very reminiscent of the western frontier, and the homestead act which I am myself a beneficiary of. We don’t need more socialists leaving society, we need more urban farming and an end to monoculture.

What do y’all think about it?

Do you have any reasources on that? It’s something that intrests me a lot but I would absolutely love to hear more about it from someone who knows more.

My connection there isn't available right now but if you ask around there are people that would be happy to get you in-touch I'm sure. I don't know what their COVID plan is right now though, it's possible they might not be taking accompaniments still.

Gotcha. Do you have any good places you would suggest asking around for that or suggestions as to where to look in that regard? I’ve read about this before but finding the specifics hasn’t been particularly fruitful (in Spanish or in English). I’ve read about it in the past but trying to see the specifics has been more difficult. I’ve been intrested in programs like this for a long time but I definitely need to read more about the details. And yeah, Covid should be kept in mind. I will account for that when looking

I think on here or Hexbear you're bound to run into somebody that knows somebody that might say something. If you're interested in learning about Neozapatismo they have Autonomous Government textbooks you can find easily by searching and there's a book I particularly liked called Autonomy is In Our Hearts.
