    Not really a commune but interesting nonetheless and the closest thing I could find: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-Space_(community_center)

    I seem to remember a commune away in a little field in the US which was around in the sixties, I can't remember its name however.

    Edit: Found it, apparently it was a hippie commune: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_City
    "Direct Action is a notion of such clarity, of such self-evident transparency, that merely to speak the words defines and explains them. It means that the working class, in constant rebellion against the existing state of affairs, expects nothing from outside people, powers or forces, but rather creates its own conditions of struggle and looks to itself for its means of action. It means that, against the existing society which recognises only the citizen, rises the producer. And that that producer, having grasped that any social grouping models itself upon its system of production, intends to attack directly the capitalist mode of production in order to transform it, by eliminating the employer and thereby achieving sovereignty in the workshop – the essential condition for the enjoyment of real freedom.” Emile Pouget

    This is the Learning section of the board. If you don't have anything useful to say then don't. Stop clogging the thread with stupid one-liners.
