Who wants to come live on my communal farm in Saskatchewan?

Would I have to do any work?  Do members of your commune bathe regularly and
wear deodorant?

#2 of 24 by polytarp on Mon Jun 3 20:13:35 2002:

Of course you'd have to work!  There aren't yet any members of 'my' commune!

#3 of 24 by oval on Mon Jun 3 20:54:38 2002:

no

#4 of 24 by vmskid on Mon Jun 3 20:55:43 2002:

Ditto.

Well, you certainly could use a leader.  I'd be willing to do that.

#6 of 24 by polytarp on Tue Jun 4 02:13:13 2002:

No, you idiot!  The whole point of communal living is to NOT have a leader!
Or, maybe that's just my point.
(Note, we don't need a leader)

Is it your commune, or a collective that you're starting?

#8 of 24 by mcnally on Tue Jun 4 07:11:49 2002:

  Do you have a Five Year Plan?  Nobody's going to come live on a 
  collective farm unless you have a Five Year Plan..

And an interminable, mostly useless consensus process!  With lots of
committees!  I demand committees!

Since you say your commune doesn't yet have any members, that answers my next,
and most important, question, namely "Are there lots of hot chicks in your
commune?"

#11 of 24 by mdw on Tue Jun 4 21:39:31 2002:

Yup, it does.  All of his members are hot chicks; the proof is trivial.

Okay, I'll join if I get to do the cooking.

I have a friend who is from Saskatoon and from what he says, I think 
Saskatchewan sounds pretty cold so I am going to have to pass on the 
whole commie farm thing even though I have always thought it would be a 
fun thing to do.

Don't you have a coat?

#15 of 24 by slynne on Sun Jun 9 17:32:27 2002:

Of course I have a coat but I have lived in the UP so I know what a 
pain in the ass a really cold climate can be. Whenever you leave the 
house you have to put on coat, boots, gloves, scarf, hat, earmuffs, 
snowpants, etc. It is a pain. SE Michigan is at least warm enough to 
only require a coat.

Judging by http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigr/guide-ce.html#sheet1, it
looks like intending to be a farmer may not qualify non-citizens for
immigration to Canada.

#17 of 24 by polytarp on Fri Jun 14 22:33:53 2002:

We won't be living in Canada; we will be living in Utopia.

Re #9: I nominate orinoco to head the committee-forming committee.

#19 of 24 by orinoco on Tue Jun 18 18:00:32 2002:

Excellent.  If elected, I promise to establish gull as head of the
subcommittee for the formation of subcommittees.

Can I write the first Five Year Plan?  I've got great penmanship, and I 
know a thing or two about economics.

#21 of 24 by mcnally on Wed Jun 19 20:26:48 2002:

  If you know even a little bit about economics you're clearly not qualified
  to write a Five Year Plan.

#22 of 24 by slynne on Thu Jun 20 15:26:28 2002:

ooooOOOOooooo. I guess he told you!

#23 of 24 by other on Thu Jun 20 16:50:00 2002:

And your penmanship is irrelevant.

#24 of 24 by bhelliom on Thu Jun 20 20:30:07 2002:

Ain't it that nice . . . over-qualified to guide the economc tugboat of 
this great Communist enterprise.  Onward to Socialism!

Hey, wanna bet we can take over the British in steel production in five 
year?

Eric, such criticism undermines the productive spirit of your fellow 
workers.  Such Rightist, bourgeous behavior will not be tolerated.  You 
must report to the head office to engage in Self Criticism.
