If it was done as a worker's co-op it should be possible to use the idea to avoid the worst apsects of capitalist immmiseration through group cost savings. Living with a group of politically like minded people seems attractive. Allowing comrades you live with to hold you accountable for your organizing, lifestyle and productivity would probably be a positive thing for everyone here tbh. Am guilty. A lot more theory would be read in general lol.

I mean, it's probably better suited to single people that would be willing to relocate, but it seems surprising that it's not a bigger thing, especially with the cost of accomodation.

Got this fantasy of a derelict office block at the end of a cycle path, say 40mins cycle from a city to get the cheaper real estate, converted for communal living.

      Think you're focussing on the negatives.

      Something like a hostel situation, except everyone has their own room, with shared cooking and other facilities, is a cool way to live. I am also someone who needs a door btw.

      There would only be as much accountability as you want. After building relationships with comrades that you live with, you'd probably want to be more accountable to them if you're serious about any kind of political activity tbh.
