  if women are taking care of children is this needed?

  Yes. Post-partum women are moderate disabledtards who need help around the house. Alternatively you could hire a handmaid, or make sure there is a relative helping around the house, but yeah . . . probably can't just expect things to go smoothly without any help.

  any more info on people working towards this or resources to do so?

  • Small business (obvious)
  • Register your home as a place of worship (for real, not fraud)
  • Sell jams and eggs in counties/states that give tax incentives to homesteaders

  Any combination of the above, plus a few more if you've got imagination.

  is it practical in the modern industrialized economy?

  First explain why maintaining a "modern, industrialized economy" should be a working reform goal.

    I guess that's more what I had in mind, I don't really like the idea of paternity leave but don't know enough about it to comment, seems to me a job should provide enough for the family to pay for the above instead of have dads take time off

    well, I think for most people, the burden would be on explaining why we shouldn't have this, because industrialization gives us material prosperity.

    I've seen some decentralized industrial designs be suggested, like mutualist anarchist Kevin Carson's writing - maybe more parts could just be manufactured at home like with 3D printing machines. But in practice I'd imagine teams would be needed or like the factory system that exists today to build a lot of things.

    Some people may not want to be self-employed either.

      material prosperity

      Yeah unfortunately you're talking to a monke retvrner here. I am a doomsday prepper and offgrid wannabe who only uses electricity to be racist online.

      I think your logic is consistent within your more realistic scope of existence, but as far as I am concerned, you have been defeated by monke. Good day.

        ahhh I like some primitivism and low tech stuff myself so I understand the struggle

        I think we're kind of forced to use a lot of tech defensively - some tribal groups get away with low tech life, but it's from high tech places around them defending against other high tech places

        I enjoy the conversation around primitivism though because I think there's a lot of harmful technological use out there
