I would surely then be trespassing on land owned by someone else?

I agree. But...
How much work do you need to do to take care of yourself on your own ? Without using anything society has build for public use ?
We are slaves and we are taken advantage of... However most of us don't realize how good we actually have it.
I know you do not live there but much of the world inherits policies from the US.

Now its not as bad as the kind of Slavery such as in old America, or ancient Rome, or even some forms that still exist in the world. Nevertheless any degree of compulsion equals slavery.
There is nowhere for people who actually do desire to live in harmony with nature. There is nowhere for us to run. Here in The US, if it isn't private owned land, it's public/Federally owned land, and you need permits to even enter and if camping is permissible, you can only do it for a set number of days.
You can get prosecuted if they catch you living out in the wilderness.
Corporations have come in, and claimed the land, they say it is theirs, they stole the land from the children of earth.
I want to un-incorporate myself, go somewhere, and live FREE. I want to experience life as a human being! Not as some worker bee for the man. Not as a robot, not as a slave.This life isn't fair.

You are another one firmly in the grasp of the TPTB. You keep brining it back to work and money.
The POINT is all about freedom, and the loss of it in todays world.
So please remind me, what exactly is wrong with socialism?
You must be American, because the quickest way to get shot there is to stand on street corner and claim to be a proud communist or socialist. Nobody knows why its bad - it just is.

Hard work is good. You make that point. My point is that freedom is good, and all the freedoms have been removed by laws, debt, fear.
The basic human spirit is gone.
And one final point, a personal point really. You say "Are you a Socialist, then?"
I say yes I am, you make it sound like a bad thing. So please remind me, what exactly is wrong with socialism?
