Assuming they had other qualities I look for in a roommate, sure.

Of course not-I don't want to starve to death from lack of food.

Their little commune probably wouldnt be able to sufficiently distribute the food supply or shelter materials.

We'd starve/die of heat exhaustion.

No thanks.

There's communists in SC? Certainly not the dangerous kind. I think I would get along just fine with the "communists" of Santa Cruz.

Perhaps the "ultra crazy liberal" type of communist.

I lived with some Maoists in Santa Cruz in June 2004 and I'd do it again, even though I'm not a hard leftist anymore.

Would you live with communists for a month in Santa Cruz?

Santa Cruz is great, and I go there most years in August for the Cabrillo festival. My only complaint is that there are far too many nubile women who have decided to deface themselves with tatoos. Boo!  Last time I was there, I actually enjoyed savoring the left wing message signs which graced many of the funky homes around and about. It was very entertaining, particularly since some were quite clever. I don't get this notion that happiness comes from surrounding oneself with folks who agree with you on politics. It is quite nutter really in the sense that those who feel that way, I tend to think live in a world not of grand delusions, but of blinding ones.

Do they shower, pick up after themselves, and keep relatively neat?

Ya, no noisome odors were detected from this particular set of nostrils. And the city is as neat as a pin. The sans culottes are rather thin on the ground in this rather expensive particular zip code. If you are dead ass  broke, well beautiful downtown Salinas is just down the road.

Yes, especially considering that American "communists" are perfectly fine and generally have qualities that I like.

I don't see why not. On a personal, voluntary basis, communism is fine.

Actually yes. I've actually lived with friends who were registered members of the Communist Party of Brazil (friends in college). They seemed pretty rational, although they seemed to have too much faith in the State. From what I hear, American Communists (on average) are pretty anti-State on quite a few issues, so I think I could get along with them better. Plus, Far Leftist chicks turn me on.
