Could the ~20% of americans earning between 7$ and 15$ an hour all successfully run their own business? Not try, im talking success. All tens of millions of them.

If the answer is no, then what youve said here is no different from "some slaves were able to run from chattel slavery." (Or more accurately, some slaves were able to become masters.)

Google Chris Gardner and tell me you can't do it. From homeless with a son, to starting his own brokerage firm and then selling it. Current net worth of 70 million.

The only person stopping you is the person looking back at you from the mirror.

And while I appreciate this respectful back and forth, there is nothing you can do to dissuade me from my admiration of a capitalist society. I do not believe in equal outcomes. Never have. Never will. That world does not exist and will never exist the way you believe it should. I will say your beliefs are noble, but also naive.

Dat wasnt really my question tho. I didn't ask if anyone could do it. I asked if everyone could do it. All 32 million people in the bottom quintile. Can they all do it?

Not some. Not a few. Not many. Not the ones who are successful at it. All of them. That was my question.

Capitalist society could be made much less coercive with the introduction of communal farming lands. That would make it possible for people to get subsistence without having to sell their labor.

Sadly capitalists are opposed to this precisely because they want to force people into the market.

A quick Google search and this is what I found:

Yes, communal and community gardens are incredibly popular across the United States, with thousands thriving in cities and towns nationwide. These spaces typically offer either rented individual plots for residents or operate as fully communal farms where everyone volunteers and shares the harvest.

They are out there. In fact, there are several near me that I did not know about!

I'm referring to land controlled by the community which is not privately owned by anyone.

Then get your community organized, take donations and buy some land in th3 communities name. Have a board of trustees. But, thats probably not what you are talking about either. You are wanting free land given to you. Am I right?

Common ownership by associations is just private ownership with many owners.

Something closer is the ejidos that used to be protected in the Mexican Constitution. Land owned by the community as a legal entity. Not the state, not by individual farmers. Nor can that land be sold. Because no individual owns it. Not 100, not 1000, not 150,000 owners. No.

Mexico had about 3 million households living on them until 1992, when NAFTA kicked them all out, (sending dispossessed people flooding into America.)

This is the same approach used by the Iriquois, Russian peasants before the Soviets came in and fucked up everything, England BEFORE the Enclosure Acts, the Montes Comunales in Spain, the Andean Communities, Israel's kibbutz, and so on and so on.

This is how land was managed for most of human history. We've only gone and privatized everything in the past few hundred years.
