It goes all the way back to westward expansion and the economic system that grew around it. Any efforts to exist outside that framework is going to be marginalized. The zine I linked to talks about that. Plus books about people who’ve tried to live that way.

Like I said at the get-go it cannot exist in conjunction with private property. The very nature of ownership forbids that sort of democracy. Since I already stated that the rest of the conversation is void. You might as well be asking why I don’t colonize Venus.
