I’ve known a few in the U.S., and even worked at one. Maybe people won’t become billionaires doing this, but why wait for a complete overhaul of society to implement more of what are good ideas.

I’d also like to see more childcare co-ops, or community shared pre-k schools. Wheres the movement to build communities and pool resources around these business models in the US? In short, co-ops are the closest socialist/communist business model that’s actually implemented in the U.S., so why are more leftists not doing this?

    Hippie 2: Yeah, we’ll have one guy who like, who like, makes bread. A-and one guy who like, l-looks out for other people’s safety.

    Kyle: You mean like a baker and a cop?

    Hippie 1: No no, can’t you imagine a place where people live together and like, provide services for each other in exchange for their services?

    Kyle: Yeah, it’s called a town.

    Hippie 1: You kids just haven’t been to college yet. But just you wait, this thing is about to get HUGE.
