I have construction trade skills myself, don't want to use them anymore but, I don't disagree that you 50 could be all skilled in other areas, God I hope so, would suck having 50 porn webmasters around, would get pretty boring  , but again you are back to the community doing it, I equate that to a simple tax system. So the statement of no taxes can't hold true.

Huge difference between pooling some of each person's resources willingly and having it extracted from you forcibly every paycheque.
And when 50 people can come up with 2-3 million dollars collectively, you can actually afford to pay nearby companies to come and service your community when needed. I said 50 people x $50k each, but what makes anyone think that $50k is all each person has? What about ongoing earnings of each person? No reason to assume that everyone wouldn't be continuing to earn money as usual, because this internet business is quite portable, in that no matter where I live, my sites still exist as they are.
Sure there would have to be plans, agreements and compromises, but we're talking about a tropical island, not a shithole trailerpark. If it wouldn't be a labour of love for everyone, then certain people simply wouldn't belong there.
