From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A
commune is an
intentional community of people living together, sharing common interests,
property, possessions,
resources,
work and
income. In addition to the communal
economy,
consensus decision-making, non-hierarchical structures and
ecological living have become important
core principles for many communes. Andrew Jacobs of
The New York Times wrote that, contrary to popular misconceptions, "most communes of the 90's are not free-love refuges for flower children, but well-ordered, financially solvent cooperatives where pragmatics, not
psychedelics, rule the day."

For others, the "glue" is simply the desire for a more shared, sociable lifestyle. Moreover, some people find it is more economical to live communally.

Core principles of communes
The central characteristics of communes, and the definition of what a commune is, have changed over the years. In the 1960s, almost any counter-cultural, rural, intentional community was called a commune.
. At the start of the 1970s, communes were regarded by Ron E. Roberts in his book, "The New Communes", as being a subclass of the larger category of
Utopias.

. Three main characteristics were listed: first,
egalitarianism - communes specifically rejected hierarchy or graduations of social status as being necessary to social order.

Second, human scale - members of communes saw the scale of society as it was then organised as being too large. Third, communes were consciously anti-bureaucratic.
[citation needed]
Twenty five years later, Dr. Bill Metcalf, in his book "Shared Visions, Shared Lives" defined communes as having the following core principles: the importance of the group as opposed to the nuclear family unit, a "common purse", a collective household, group decision making in general and intimate affairs.
. Sharing everyday life and facilities, a commune is an idealised form of family, being a new sort of "primary group" (generally with fewer than 20 people).

Germany has a long tradition of intentional communities going back to the groups inspired by the principles of Lebensreform in the 19th. century. Later, about 100 intentional communities were started in the
Weimar Republic after
World War I, many with a communal economy.

In the German commune book, Das KommuneBuch, communes are defined by Elisabeth Voß as communities which:[citation needed]
- live and work together,
- have a communal economy, i.e. common finances and common property (land, buildings, means of production),
- have communal decision making - usually consensus decision making,
- try to reduce hierarchy and hierarchical structures,
- have communalisation of housework, childcare and other communal tasks,
- have equality between women and men,
- have low ecological footprints through sharing and saving resources.
Israel
Kibbutzim in
Israel is an example of officially organized communes. Today, there are tens of urban communes in Israel, called often
urban kibbutzim. The urban kibbutzim are smaller and more anarchist
[3]. Most of the urban communes in Israel emphasize social change, education, and local involvement in the cities where they live. Some of the urban communes composed by graduates of
zionist-
socialist youth movements, like
HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed, Hamahanot Haolim and
Hashomer Hatsair[4].
Russia
In imperial Russia, the vast majority of Russian peasants held their land in communal ownership within a
mir community, which acted as a village government and a cooperative.

Andrew Jacobs of
The New York Times wrote that "after decades of contraction, the American commune movement has been expanding since the mid-1990's, spurred by the growth of settlements that seek to marry the utopian-minded commune of the 1960's with the American predilection for privacy and capital appreciation."
[5]
A few notable examples include:
- The Oneida Community was a commune that lasted from 1848 to 1881 in Oneida, New York.^ Stories in the New York Times , the Washington Post and the Associated Press reported on this statement and responses to it within and outside the medical community.
- MAPS’ Medical Marijuana Research 28 January 2010 0:25 UTC www.maps.org [Source type: Academic]
Although this utopian experiment is better known today for its manufacture of Oneida silverware, it was one of the longest-running communes in American history.
- The anarchist Home Colony was formed in 1895 across the Puget Sound from Tacoma, Washington on Key Peninsula, and lasted until 1919.
