There's a comic called Lazarus set in a dystopian libertarian future where the families of various corporations rule basically new kingdom-states. It's pretty lib at times and I stopped reading ages ago.
But there's a plotline where a bunch of families bought a homestead together to try and escape the crushing system. But when once in a lifetime floods due to climate change threaten to destroy their land, they are forced to take out a predatory loan to hire machinery to protect their farm, but it doesn't arrive in time, so all their crops and possessions are lost, but they still have the crippling debt and are forced to walk away and become sort of lumpenproletariat known as "waste" (versus "serfs" who have longterm jobs with "families").
And I think that is kind of a potential fate for any small scale left wing commune in the future.
