So... A commune then... I'm sorry I'm not trying to troll you, but you quite literally are defining a commune.
Not exactly, the proper umbrella term would be "intentional community" and there are many forms that would not fit that label.
PS: Mostly I'd avoid that term because of the negative propaganda. You see OP, everyone agrees shit is ridiculously bad, then you see accusations of being a "tankie" when you suggest any alternative. But there are also many (failed) social engineering ideas that are associated with communes.
We are saying the same thing here man, you're just not wanting to say commune because it's too close to the word communism... When a commune doesn't strictly mean a communist village.
The wikipedia you linked to even says that it's a synonym for a commune.
Also being a tankie is way different than wanting more progressive legislation. Though I understand your point.
Yes you're right, unfortunately I failed haha. The wikipedia article even says "Also the alternative term commune is considered to be non-neutral or even linked to leftist politics or hippies."
You failed at nothing friend. We were just getting on the same page, and giving two labels for the same thing.
