Your basic assumption is that cities provide something of value to farms. My contention is simply that you're wrong. Why are you wrong? Because as it stands right now, cities only provide appliance production, machinery production, and power to farms. Power has become so spotty that a dam is the way to go, all production for farming equipment is now sourced from china, and that's the end of the line. Now, I can go and utilize the natural resources from the mountain next to me to build machines, except the government says I can't use those resources. What happens when you collapse that government? Now, I can produce my own equipment, my own power (since you can't tell me no), and my own food.
Quite literally, American Cities have become useless. You provide nothing to the true producers in America: The farmers. You want to talk about the Communist ideal, yet the communist ideal causes people to starve. And I just pointed out why. The first thing you have to do is convince me I should give up ownership of what is mine, which I refuse to do. Then you have to take it from me, usually by means of murder. I'm now dead, and you don't know how to do what I do. So now you bring thousands of people to my land to do what I alone did before. In the process of figuring out how to do it, millions die, because they have no source of food.
Do you start to understand, or should I type slower, because you don't read fast?
The Corporation has no local stake. The incorporated town has 100% of stake in the town. As a communist, you should honestly support the incorporated town, it's the closest thing in the modern world to true Communism, and the two of us could possibly agree on it's value.
