I'm talking about people who LIVE it, not discuss it, intellectualize it, or politic it.
The living of it, despite sociatal 'norms', is the only true threat to the ...'dominant paradigm'. [DOG, I hate that phrase!]
As I stated, not ONE who calls themself a 'Communist'.
How many even live with roommates (once they're out of college)?
