> concept that they strongly oppose, the commune

This makes no sense. Why would people that want to survive these end-of-the-world scenarios be opposed to the one thing that makes survival more likely?

I'm not doubting you, but it makes no sense to me.

It doesnt make sense, but many americans have been conditioned to think helping anyone but yourself is socialist/communist, and they would rather die than potentially be labeled one.
