Ah, well, the nice thing about the current system in the USA is that nobody will stop you from forming a commune. If things were flipped around, with the government being socialist, you couldn't escape that. No, it isn't perfect. In either case there would be a national government demanding taxes and conscription and not assaulting people, but in your case this is a very minor issue because you're wanting the more-shared option. Good luck.

>If things were flipped around, with the government being socialist, you couldn't escape that. I'm curious as to why. >but in your case this is a very minor issue I don't think that's true; the state still has power over you and the power to compel you to pay money and live by its (potentially and actually unjust) laws. That's fundamentally opposed to anarchists' goals. The goals of the anarchists aren't only immediately practical (communal production) but long-term practical as well. If one's goal is to eliminate unjust hierarchy (just as the liberal democrat's goal is to eliminate rights violations) then it won't do to live in a few communes here and there. There must be reform of the whole system.
