But aren't there alternatives: join/start a commune or a non-profit
enterprise, move to a socialist society such as Sweden, etc.?

I see 3 types of view being promoted on MD (with possible promoters):

TYPE I (Chris, Arlo, dmb):  Morality inheres in a SYSTEM (socialism, welfare state).

TYPE II (Ian):  Morality inheres in a PROCESS (democracy).

TYPE III (Craig, Platt, Ham & Micah):  Morality inheres in individual ACTIONS
(voluntary/rational).
