    Default Leftist agricultural communes in North America?

    I'm trying to compile a list of leftist intentional communities in North America. Does anyone have any suggestions? Whether of particular communities or resources for finding them. I've searched for just 'intentional communities' but that doesn't return results by ideological affiliation, and sometimes it turns up things by our enemies like National Anarchists and whatnot.

    I can't think of any that aren't regarded as cultish.

    Unless you count the Rural Peoples Party (Juche-Jim Jones thought).

    I think communes are kind of extreme. I'd like to see more people make workers cooperatives to compete directly with capitalism.

    I've always believed that if you can't build socialism in one country, you certainly can't build it in a hippy commune on a farm somewhere.
