You should read the history of the colony, all food production was owned
common, all food distribution was by need, everyone explored or searched
for gold, no one produced food... Everyone starved. The creed that
saved them was each got a plot and ate what they grew.

Yep, the Mayflower compact said that, they almost starved using that
creed by the way, until the rules were changed to reflect human nature.
Yeah.
That's why they almost starved.
And, changing the creed is what saved them.
Right.
