communalist 

A follower of Murray Bookchin's political ideology, which according to him was "a theory of government or a system of government in which independent communes participate in a federation". A form of libertarian socialism, based on local assemblies of no more than 150 families per group who meet up regularly to discuss the group's concerns and what they need doing locally. Anything they're unable to do themselves, they send a pair of delegates up to an area assembly, where if other local assemblies buy into the idea, enough resources & labour may be found to get it done.
"Abdullah Öcalan based his ideas on Bookchin's communalist ideology"

Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
