Run it like the Military (mostly) and it could do well!
@JustSomeGuy, very interesting. How did it come about? Who drafted up the document? Thanks.
So, half a wife is the magic number??Yea, one is bad enough half the time!

Maybe your family, not mine. My blood family are a bunch of oportunists, liars and thieves.
Not a chance!!! Maybe some of them but most are lazy azzes.
Your situation is as close to ideal as I can imagine!It actually got started formally by my grand dad. All but one of us are 3rd, 4th or 5th generation owners. The "new kid" picked up the property he's on from a 3rd generation owner, and being like minded had no problems signing on in his place after reviewing the documentation.
So, it's been a work in progress for decades.
This.I've never been a fan of communal type situations. However, I'd love it if all my neighbors were prepared and liberty focused so that in a SHTF scenario I wouldn't need to feel like I'd need to turn away or defend myself against them. So for me, an organization and purpose built community? No thanks. Surrounded by independent and like-minded neighbors? Sounds good.
Amen! (I will shut up in just a minute)I didn't vote because the option "I'm sick and tired of trying to drag people to train with me let alone willing to pretend I can rely on them with sh!t goes sideways." was not available.
I was read most of his newsletters in the late 70s/earlyish 80s....had a buddy who was wildass fanboy of every wild idea Tappan wrote about.Mel Tappan
Humans have formed themselves into communal units since the dawn of our species. Be it tribal, religiously or philosophically oriented (e.g., the Hutterites, Oneida Community, the Rajneeshees, LDS and offshoots with concepts of "United Order", et al.), for deliberate survivalist purposes (e.g., the aforementioned 80s group, ones outlined in various other, more contemporary, literature) or, naturally, various, other social constructs.
I understand this all too well.I will not go into to much detail, but I literately was raised in a "preper community" The hippies had their commune's and we had our survivalist community.
The problem- nothing ever happened. Oh sure, members tried to keep the hype alive. There was a g-man around every rock and we were always being monitored (probably not). But the real reason it all fell apart, was the Russians didn't nuke us, the cities didn't collapse and the masses didn't run to the hills, the end of the world never happened and the kids grew up moved away and got their own lives (me).
So sure, the idea does work, but just not forever.
Amen! (I will shut up in just a minute)
I work a job for the Hutterians a few years back and had the opportunity to break bread and talk with one of their leadership over the course of that job was a blessing to me at a time in my life I needed it.
I was amazed at the structure and self reliance these people had built. But the one thing we could not agree on was the position of self defense...I could not understand that level of pacification, and he could not explain it in a way I could accept.
I saddens me to think how quickly they (could) loose it all to the evil in this world if that s..t ever hits that fan.
Well, being the guru of a sex cult will always be the dream for some of us.
I can't seem to make the text larger. If it is something from Rawles', familiar with, but not even remotely a fan of his work.
I can roll with the underwear thing. Not so much the teetotalism and lack of sailor talk.
Woah, wait, six to twelve wives? Sign me up, pronto!
