n. Rural farmstead, hamlet or bog inhabited by an anarchistic group of flower-people seeking to escape the usual confining bonds of humanity's fettered existence. Often seeking financial independence through the production of shabbily beaded assemblages and aromatic candles these clothing-optional settlements have largely disappeared since the sixties as a result of government intervention, better anti-psychotic medication, and cholera.

Get the Commune of Comics Industries (CCI) mug.Essentially synonymous with Communal Democracy, emphasizing the commune as the foundational cell. The term often carries a stronger connotation of the commune being an integrated social and economic unit, not just a political one, practicing collective ownership and mutual aid internally.
Example: The theoretical vision of Murray Bookchin’s Communalism or Libertarian Municipalism advocates for a Commune-Based Democracy. Neighborhood assemblies would form the base, federating into confederations to manage regional affairs, replacing the state with a networked system of directly democratic, ecological communes.

Get the Commune-Based Democracy mug.A specific, radical form of community-based society where the commune is not just a social unit but a fully integrated political and economic entity. In this model, the commune collectively owns and manages all property and means of production within its territory. Work is organized communally, resources are distributed based on need, and all members participate in direct democratic decision-making. Society is a voluntary federation of such self-sufficient, egalitarian communes. It is the structural goal of many anarcho-communists and utopian socialists, rejecting both the market and the state.
*Example: The theoretical endpoint of a Commune-Based Society is often illustrated by the short-lived Paris Commune of 1871, which aimed to turn Paris into such a collective entity. A modern small-scale example is the Twin Oaks Intentional Community in Virginia, which operates as a secular, income-sharing commune, though it exists within a larger capitalist state rather than as a federated societal model.*
