Return to the Land

First of all, I personally support every attempt to escape the cages of "the system" and to create one's own personal world, whether that be a community, a family or pure asceticism.

The right to schooling and so-called "education" has become pure manipulation, and everyone should be able to decide to live by alternative ways and rules.

That is how I came to take an interest in the American movement called "Return to the land". The founder's idea (photo) is that an authentic community can only exist among people who share an ideology, an ethnicity and a similar cultural background, as well as similar interests and aims.

Does that seem such an abstruse or condemnable idea?

Isn't it already happening naturally? Aren't even the gangs of the various cities, in Italy and elsewhere, ethnocentric already?

Naturally, the founder has been accused of racism and white supremacism, even though he is the first to encourage people of different ideas and ethnicities to do the same and create their own independent communities.

I would add that anyone who disagrees with their methods and ideas, and considers the people at Return To The Land to be maladjusted bumpkins, should be glad at the very fact that they all live together far from the rest of the world, so that one can quite calmly avoid having anything to do with them.

But no, we get the usual "schoolmarm" who applies for admission without any real intention of joining the community, and then sues them on the pretext of "discrimination".

Although the "system" we live in constantly delegitimises anyone who looks for an alternative, I am convinced that a healthy future depends on the creation of independent, self-governing nuclei.

So I wish the lads and lasses of RTTL all the very best.
