collective farming

[Reds]

After the revolution would the creation of collective farms in larger western nations like the U$ and brazil or any were for that matter be a good idea.

i think the zapatistas are already doing something like that :)

"after" ?

It is a good idea at this very moment.

Seeker's right. We need not wait for the revolution to simply collectively farm. A topic like this was brought up awhile ago. The idea was to simply purchase a farm and gradually turn it into a 'farm-commune'.

Yeah, why is it past tense? You should do it now. Hell, I'd help out with that. That would be amazing.

Ok, any one have more dietailed plans on how to do this?

[TheReadMenace]

I would think you just purchase some land, yeah? I mean, you'd have to work a 'job' from time to time, just to get money to pay for the land, property taxes, utilities, etc.; but other than that, you're collective would be more or less self-sufficient. All you have to do is contribute to the construction/sowing/harvesting of the land and house, and you'd have it, pretty much.

I'm planning to visit one that has been around for a while for most of September. If things work out, I'll be living there in October.

While I'm there I intend to study their methods closely enough to duplicate it at some hypothetical point in the future.



Reds, someone from the Federation of Egalitarian Communities (http://thefec.org/) could tell you how a few of them run and how they got started.

Nationalization of large agricultural enterprizes which operate on the basis of high labor division and with machinery is the first mission probably executed by proletarians in the revolutionary future.

In our future I expect to see more and more large agricultural enterprizes.
