New communities for the finacially poor? How?

I have seen many posts about how people want to leave the establishes society and create new, self-sufficient and self-reliant communites where they live in harmony with nature. Is it just talk? I don't know as most of the people posting these thought live on other continents (mainly USA) and I don't know them and their lifestyle personally. But I am starting to get frustrated by all this talk, and no one actually posting that they have left for a "free life in nature."

To be honest, can one break away and live like that - without the money to legally buy a piece of land, that is? Here in Sweden I imagine it can be difficult as the land isn't very large to start with and it is only up in the north that there are large enough umpopulated areas of nature to "hide" in. If not, how can we who have no maney to buy land with, but may have the drive and knowledge to create such communites do it? One person I chatted with on a Swedish forum suggested that one go to another country that is larger and easier to disappear in. Hmm, witch country would that be? Russia maybe? That is close enough for many poor people to be able to get there. But honestly, who sould want to create a new independent community in Russia?

So the question remains. How do one who have the desire, knowledge and drive to actually start walking their talk do it? Do you have an idea? Or maybe you even know of an exisiting place that welcome newcomers? Feel free to share your knowledge.
