Building a small, independant town is probably possible, and so is the possibilty of a collapse-proof way of life. We aren’t necessarily doomed to live as cogs in a system that wants to extract the life out of us, and beat us into submission. Furthermore, seeking to live outside of capitalism doesn’t mean you have to remain isolated from a possible revolution, it is just an insurance in case things go horribly wrong, which they will at some point.

Any project that doesn’t think about militant means will get problems sooner or later. As will every project that tries to do on its own without monetary influx of the existing system.
