Realistically, there's no need for anyone in one of these societies to know
a trade in order for them to survive. If you have ten people all working
for minimum wage and sharing living expenses, you can have a pretty decent
standard of living and build up a savings to boot. As the society gains
wealth and increases its standard of living, more people with skills will be
attracted to living there, which will improve efficiency to an even greater
degree. However, there are *SO FEW* people who actually want to give up
ownership of personal property, these communities will stay very small. I
think this is at least in part the other issue that The Farm faced--which
makes sense as their population has increased since they switched to a more
capitalistic system.


You need to go back and read more on " The Farm ' website. As I read
it, they had something like 1200 people there at one point before they
switched.
