By fostering a culture of strict anti-violence / pro-reason. I'm not even sure if it's possible to transition from the hyper-violent culture we have today to some anti-violent culture without several generations or some horrible system-shock such as a nuclear war.

You still are avoiding the question. Let me clarify further: Within your framework how would resource decisions be made? Specifically, what form of voting or consensus forming would be used? What happens if one or multiple individuals disagree on a current or future decision within that framework? Would they be forced to go along with the group? What happens when they decide not to go along with the group because they believe they are right and being the reasonable ones while the majority aren't?

Lack of resources generally and a desire to not sever all my personal relationships. I have a girlfriend, a family, parents, all these people wouldn't just end theirs careers and lives to come live in some experimental commune with me. Get real, I don't have such enormous freedom as you think. No one does.

Well, it really isn't about your resources, as i already stated that I could help you find some friends if you don't know many people who share your philosophy and you could pool your resources together.

It doesn't take much to fulfill your dreams. Jacque Fresco was able to crowd source from a couple hundred investors that he than used to buy some land(tax free rent), build some buildings and create his propaganda machine for his RBE politics(Communism with Robots, yippee!). If you really believed in those politics you should probably drop the girlfriend and find one that had the same ethics and ideals with you and not become so dependent upon your family.

Your lack of freedom is just illusory chains holding you back from your ideals. Are you suggesting you lack freedom because of emotional co-dependency?
