    I think ultimately we also need to synthesize the urban-rural divide towards semi-self-sufficient communes that allow residents to live, work and enjoy leisure time where they are. Ideally, the waste heat of production should go towards heating/cooling homes in walking distance. Perma-cultures instead of empty lawns. Nice, communal apartment complexes instead of isolated (and badly insulated) stand-alone houses. Common spaces for leisure, coming together and organizing these micro-communities.

    We kinda do be needing some of that socialism or it's just going to be barbarism with a green veneer.

      A big aspect of socialism which I think goes not said enough is individual freedom. With the enhanced individual freedome & time granted to an individual, they would naturally spend time improving their dwellings and alot of people would take part in gardening. Our house is in a Canadian subdivision, but my family were farmers in India, my grandparents have a quite extensive vegitable garden, of which a good 100 sq ft or more is on city property (no one has given us bother, the rear end of our house is towards a green space).

      I would love to partake more often, but we gotta work till we die lol
