I keep expecting to hear more about cool anarcho-communes popping up, but I also feel like any compromise of opsec for something like that could be disastrous. So I just keep thinking about setting up my own small scale thing, which doesn't really seem like it would be very effective. I at least have a few folks I can talk pretty openly with now, but it's always weird tiptoeing around politics with new people and strangers.
Wish I knew myself. I've heard of a few 'intentional' communes, but I've heard some mixed things about them. There's some online maps of some of them, but it's hard to gauge them politically. I've not heard of many that are explicitly leftist or anti-capitalist etc.
I'm not gonna ever be able to retire so I find myself more and more day dreaming about starting one but like with a few people with technology backgrounds and such so we can still have Internet connectivity. I don't know many people who can grow food or build houses, let alone where would be a good place to squat for a commune. Plus I wouldn't know how to go about dealing with pigs when they try and bust the place up. So instead I just wait for the empire to fall and hope I can find some good people that my family will be safe with lol.
It's also true that even a well functioning commune could fail the transition to different political realities in various ways. The process of revolution can be a stress test to all existing social relations due to changes in material conditions.
