    “Nothing is stopping you” - actually not true, you need government permission and they will just say no.

      Every single attempt at establishing a communist society was fought tooth and nail every step of the way by capitalists. By any means necessary.

        Yep. Everything is designed to force individualism. You need to buy a house, illegal to live in a tent even if you own land which is comparably cheap.

        So I can legally buy an acre of woodland for under £20k, possibly £10k at a push though they usually charge more per area for small patches, depends on location. I could also build several cabins or put up multiple tents, so far all legal.

        The moment someone lives there, illegal. The government can now seize the property. They have done so in the past when people have tried.

            No. You need permission from the (local) government to live anywhere. Houses come with this permission, but if you buy a field or woodland it does not. Fuck all chance of getting it outside of some very special edge cases.
