It sounds like hopeless social experiment: take every home in a village and lump them all under the same roof. While you are at it, eliminate the concept of individual possessions and divide the goods equally, down to the last cigarette. Finally, throw in the condition that, under that one long roof, each family must live, sleep, and eat together in a single room about the size of a mini-bus. To most, such an experiment sounds even worse than hopeless. It sounds like a recipe for outright social collapse. | |
