Twin Oaks already does this - they grow most of their own food, have a few external businesses, and I'm pretty sure a few of their members have external jobs (at least one of which is a programmer, if I remember). They practice "income sharing," so all money goes into a common pool and is spent on the needs of the community.
- socialist_coder 8y agoI read their articles on income sharing, but it doesn't mention if the income sharing is truly 100% communist, or if there is some kind of specific $ amount you need to contribute, and then everything on top of that is yours (or you could choose to work less hours). Do you know any specifics?
- mercutio2 8y agoIncome sharing is 100% for income from labor at Twin Oaks. Passive income is a grey area, some people lend their assets to the community to avoid earning passive income, but I don't think that's ever been enforced.
