going to get my soul free

[haptalaon]

I know that land is only cheap in America as part of ongoing colonialisation,&that all these communes sucked for one reason or another (a big theme I'm getting from this book is the biggest barrier to dropping out is not The Man, but the actual men in your commune dumping all the important work on women)

but sigh, sigh, sigh, sigh, can you imagine waking up on 100 acres of seeming wilderness with all your buddies under the stars, or being part of a wider youth culture where people can do that.

The US is a tiny baby country so the situation around land there now is where England was in like, 1066AD, we are so far past the land grab stage and onto the land hoarding. & maybe US will never get there, it's just big enough that there's enough useless land to always be available for some dumb hippy to think they'll be able to farm there.

the dream is to wake up pretending the rest of the world no longer exists
