Look into co-housing communities or eco-villages. There are ways to do this even within our overly bureaucratic system.

While I agree that non-violent is the way to go, I think we need to change our definition of “violence.”

Property destruction should not be considered violent. Especially when precautions are specifically taken to ensure that no people were harmed during act of property destruction or sabotage.

On the other side of things, actions such as destroying wildlife habitat or polluting the air, water, and soil systems of the Earth should be considered “violence.” It is violence towards all of humanity, and towards life itself.
