Are humans allowed to live wild in the USA and Canada's?

@BohemianBabe In the US, the IRS demands a physical address. PO boxes are not allowed. If you aren't required to file tax returns you are free to live without an address.

@Heartlander But you still have to follow laws, no matter where you live. You can live in a forest, but you still can't do whatever you want without government interference.

@BohemianBabe Absolutely, if not a government of our choosing it would be a drug lord, or dictator, or bunch of thugs telling us what we can and can't do and where we can and can't sit.

@Heartlander That's why I'm a Socialist, but not a Communist. I think any form of Anarchy would essentially just turn into a new form of Feudalism.

@BohemianBabe :) I prefer the word cooperative to socialism. In a coop we are free to cooperate or not. Socialism takes too much of the choice away. There are some things that we all must cooperate to prevent chaos, but in the interest of maximizing personal freedom, the must list should be kept to a minimum

@Heartlander So there are some Socialists who would say my view doesn't go far enough, but I don't think corporations should be forced to become co-ops. I think essential services should be nationalized, and corporations shouldn't get subsidies or tax breaks unless they're co-ops. So in this scenario, there would still be some private ownership, business-owners would still have that choice. But workers would have way more power and the majority of businesses would probably choose to become co-ops.

But this is why infighting on the Left has become a meme. 😆

@BohemianBabe In a system where we voluntarily cooperate or not on most things, it tends to be more bottom-up government Vs socialism which eventually migrates to top-down government. With cooperative associations were's not limited to that for essential services like education and health care, or clean drinking water, police, fire services, etc.

Forcing corporations to become anything other that what's agreed on by the stockholders is too far an overreach. Forcing employees to have a stake in the profits is a disaster and probably accounts for why so many Americans are driving autos made in Japan :)
