Thoughts on homesteading/small commune kinda stuff??? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've been thinking about having a small homesteading/subsistence farming commune kinda thing with some extended family and other people to insulate ourselves from increasing precaritization. Several family members are also interested in this kind of thing and quite a few have the relevant knowledge. This seems like it would be individually beneficial to us but I wonder if it's withdrawing from society too much. Or something.

What are y'all's informed commie opinions about this stuff?

I asked this same question recently, so I will refer you to this post.

Thanks! Interesting to see people's perspectives.

I'm curious about the class/settler analysis, since it seemed like people didn't quite agree on that and I'm not really sure what to think myself.

Also I don't think I would aim to be totally self-sufficient or such a large scale, don't know if that makes a difference. But sounds like that may not be economically feasible from one person's experience.

What class analysis was controversial? To me it just seemed like Kaffe was giving talking points some people hadn’t heard of and thus, they asked for clarification.
