@pigworker I mean, I’m from a socially conservative backwater that was basically Royston Vasey, and getting past the fear was really bloody hard because of what that did.
As far as I can tell, you had that tenfold.
But you’ve obviously broken through. You’re talking to us, here. A lot of people never get past the fear that prevents that. Don’t underestimate that, and don’t sell yourself short.
I understand how we can be pulled in two directions too, not just having to fight our fear, but to weigh our obligations that we hold to ourselves, and to others.
IME others get over it, most of them. The ones that don’t … well I made peace with that. I’m not saying it’s easy, or comes at no cost, but the journey also had huge benefits.

I would advise you to actually learn what communism and socialism actually mean.
Communism describes a classless, moneyless, stateless society.
Socialism means that the workers who work the means of production (that means gardens, too) own those means of production as well.
No state has actually achieved socialism. Not the USSR, not China, not Cuba or any other. Just because they claimed they have doesn't mean they actually did.
As someone else already tooted: You will probably be very interested in the works of Murray Bookchin.
Alternatively, I can recommend this certified anarcho-communist permaculture efficionado: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN__G2hSqRKuqedN3M0JCDg
