Further to the dumb 5-acre idea: people did this in the 1970s and, largely, found out that (A) farming is a skill that takes a great deal of education and practice and (B) in a collective, nobody ever does the poo poo jobs. There are surviving communes from the 1970s, but not many.

Further-furthermore, a lot of the land available in small lots in rural areas is available because it's unfarmable. No access to the road. No access to water. Turns into a swamp in the spring. That sort of thing.

An intentional community works if there's a harsh equitable rota system where the poo poo jobs are actually shared. Collectives fail because the leaders set themselves up as too good for the slop work. And then they exempt their cronies. Thats not because people in general are lazy, it's because a certain subset of sociopaths are lovely humans.

That is marx’s definition of money, that it gives it possessor the power to do anything to anyone no matter their personal limitations. Only he thinks that’s bad.

Yeah, she's not wrong. If you think of "freedom" as a sliding scale of power then money does equal "freedom for women."

Boy, she is REALLY going off in the replies. You can tell she's never had any kind of pushback on this outside of twitter.

I mean, yeah, if every woman was rich enough to create/own a company. But that's kind of the thing, she's talking like "money has set women free" but isn't thinking about the fact that almost no women actually have any money (relatively).

The funniest bit in the replies is how she says if women aren't doing this then white male billionaires won't, as if rich white men haven't been running charities & charitable foundations for centuries.

Intentional communities also fail because people realize that they don't want to do the poo poo jobs at all, and move back to a situation where they can pay, directly or indirectly, to have those jobs done by somebody else. Small-scale farming (for example) is brutal, exhausting work, and you don't get a day off if there's a crisis.
