Well I’d be willing to invest everything I have, though by myself it wouldn’t cover much beyond some land and I already have tools and skills for building but it would require a couple other people with some amount of money, a few able bodies obviously as well. The construction would have to be mostly reclaimed building materials/harvested from the land. Rammed earth is literally dirt cheap, and a few trees from the land would go a long way. Most of the people I know claim to be socialists or MLs or some form of leftists and have some accumulated wealth but so far no one seems willing to actually do anything in real concrete terms. Also zoning laws and building codes are a nightmare to navigate when you are using alternative construction methods beyond something like straw bales around here. Logistics can be overcome, but without a few other people it’s hard to form a collective, hence my disappointment. I’m partially disabled and my window of opportunity is closing with age but that just means I work slower which only matters to capitalist exploiters who want economic output. Anyhow it’s been a thing I’ve been working on, I still haven’t given up. I guess it’s just sheer obstinance.
It’s really the main issue with the internet, lack of transparency. Anyone can easily make multiple accounts and also there’s no way to verify anything about any of it really. At least when I do direct aid locally I can tell that the person is in a bad way pretty quickly. No one on the streets here is faking it and it’s just not the case on the internet. I’d love to direct my resources to leftists where possible but I haven’t got a lot to spare so I’m probably going to focus on local direct aid.
