Gasp! Sir, this is a micro-federation of free people! :D
I don’t really care what you call it, it shouldn’t be about ideology but about economy benefit and freedom from economic exploitation. But you’ll definitely be facing anti-socialist propaganda. It’s possible that certain advances in technology allow for a life in relative luxury (e.g. rich in free time, rich in stability, rich in self determination). Things like 3D printers don’t quite get us there, but if you could invent / develop or genetically engineer access to raw materials. You’d still need quite a few “vitamins” like microprocessors etc so you’d still need to import some stuff and export some labour or goods.
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.”

So… A commune then… I’m sorry I’m not trying to troll you, but you quite literally are defining a commune.

You failed at nothing friend. We were just getting on the same page, and giving two labels for the same thing.
