I definitely think about the ablest nature of a subsistence farming homestead or any community that depends on manual labor to exist. Within a capitalist society, I don't know a good way to have inclusive communities that can fully nurture each individual persons needs, while not working the "able bodied/minded" members to death. Mutual aid communities exist(ed) but you have to deconstruct capitalism enough, and have high enough ratio of willing and "abled" people at any given time, to do the daily work of survival for the group. As much as I'd love to provide "refuge" for a bunch of people who might benefit greatly from the environment, I (on this one single homestead) need people who can physically and mentally handle this life. I'm not equipped AT ALL to take on 100%+ of the work load, even if I wish I could. I need help myself. 😅 I know I'm not always running at 100% and as my body starts to go, (it's done wonders for my mind) I don't see anyone stepping up to do this back breaking work. "Many hands make light work." But it also has to come from a place where there are enough "able" hands in the first place. When tech starts doing the manual labor that would create more egalitarian societies, instead of just making a few people rich, that's when we will see a fair and just society.
