The way you uphold this sort of lifestyle is through community along with recognizing that even the "simple" life requires someone dedicating their time to keeping up the infrastructure and that those who do so deserve to be compensated fairly for doing so.

"Compensation" kinda detracts from your "community" point.
If everybody's contributing according to their strengths, that's community.
If everyone's doing it to make a profit, that's no longer community.

By "compensation" I meant "have their needs met" not "profit." I shouldn't have assumed it would have been understood that way.
