    cottage businesses. working together creating some thing or service that you can sell. at our inner city community we did a lot of construction work on neighbors houses. twin oaks makes hammocks and tofu. you can grow food or herbs or other plants. make jewelry or clothes. have a group that travels with music festivals selling food or other stuff. a few ideas to start with. use your imagination. massage is also good. people will pay 20-40$ for an hour of massage if you're good. you could also have camping at your community or wilderness training or some other training. you can do child care or elder care or some other health care. it could be something different like nude camping and swimming if you have a lake. think of something that you like doing that other people will pay for. peace

    I was in a commune in Las Cruces in 1971-72. We ate wild spinash and rotten onions. The girls took care of the house and grew the weed, I was the dope runner and roadie, mostly LSD, and the rest of the guys were roadies or in the band. We got raided in 72' but we all got away but I got busted for a bunch of sales a few months later.

    By exploiting the sweat and labor off the brows of the socially suppressed underclasses in a denial-based bourgeois milieu.

    Also being trust fund babies helps.
