Greg,
I think we need to have Alexander Sheppard and other extrolist "marxist-socialists" become roommates in an "enlightened" scenario such as the one your hilarious article describes! ; ) I would love to see a website cam provided to capture all the priceless little moments they would have. Socio-economic commentary from Greg Burch and others could be overlaid onto the action so things could be put into the proper perspective.
I remember my roommate days fondly. We had Miguel, a very nice guy who was a true "apartment marxist" if you ever met one. He waxed poetic on how he, myself, Keith, Jeff, and Grant would all live in our little "dungeon" apartment utopia where we would share everything in a state of total harmony. But the problem was things broke down JUST as described in the Onion article, except that we broke out into a full-fledged civil(uncivil) war followed by a cold one!
In the end we all moved out and it took a long time for us to get back on speaking terms...
So I know from bitter experience that apartment marxism(and overpopulation!) just don't work.
best wishes,
John : )
