A commune is an intentional community of people living together, sharing common interests, property, possessions, resources, and, in some communes, work and income. In addition to the communal economy, consensus decision-making, egalitarian social structures and ecological living have become important core principles for many communes. Communes originated in medieval Europe, springing up throughout Italy, France, Germany and Flanders. At the time, they denoted a self-governing town whose citizens had entered an "agreement" to protect and collaborate with one another. The name would later become linked with Socialism, most notably with the rise (and bloody fall) of the Paris Commune in 1871. Communal institutions were established as a system of collectivized agriculture in the Soviet Union and China, designed to create developed, self-reliant rural communities with shared farm labor. The inefficiencies and failures of these communal systems would unfortunately lead to mass famines. In the United States, communal living became a popular experiment throughout the 1960s. Hippie writer/editor/computer innovator Stewart Brand founded The Whole Earth Catalog based on his observation that lots of young people were leaving mainstream society and attempting to re-invent civilization. Other hippie philosophers including Timothy Leary, Alan Watts, Allen Ginsburg and Gary Snyder expressed similar ideas. Tapes of their "Psychedelic Summit" meeting discussing just how to do it and the possibility of humanity returning to an "Adam and Eve" simplicity still circulate online. Contrary to popular misconceptions, most modern communes (and many of the 60s and 70s variety) are not free-love refuges for flower children,note Most communes of this type foundered not so much because of sex or drugs, but due to disbelief in leadership which they feared would encourage micromanaging by "structure freaks", creating a microcosm of the straight Establishment system they were working to overcome. They dispensed with even basic organization and planning. but well-ordered, pragmatic cooperatives. And as Kate Daloz says in her book We Are As Gods, "every last leaf and crumb of today's $39 billion organic food industry owes its existence" to the hippie communes of the 60s and 70s. Such communities have helped produce popular products like Stonyfield yogurt, Twin Oaks furniture, Celestial Seasonings tea, Cascadia Farms food, and Burt's Bees cosmetics. There are many contemporary intentional communities all over the world, including Israeli kibbutzes, Indian ashrams and American/European Anabaptistnote Amish, Mennonite and Hutterite communities. This is often the habitat (in fiction) of the New-Age Retro Hippie, Hippie Parents, and the Granola Girl, and often city dwellers who felt the Call to Agriculture or thought The Simple Life is Simple. The darker variant involves cults full of Horror Hippies or Crazy Survivalists/Right Wing Militia Fanatics and Dirty Communists, since most communist states had collective farms that were (usually mandatory) communes. Even outside Commie Land, communists and other leftists have lived this way at times, or supported it at least. Compare The Order, a group that doesn't necessarily live together but exists to perform one specific task. |

In The October Child, the Mariners move to Sydney and find that an abandoned building in their area is inhabited by a commune. The members are all Christians and offer aid to everyone who needs it. Oldest child Kenneth falls in with them and eventually decides to join the commune and change his name to Brother Benedict. When the commune gets kicked out of their home, Kenneth abandons his original plan to move back to Chapel Rocks, where he grew up, instead moving north into the countryside with the other members. | |

jPod: John Doe is the son of a militant lesbian second-wave anarcha-feminist and a turkey baster, and was raised in a commune of like-minded women. He left the commune at age 18 because he dreamed of having a door (his mother considered doors to be symbols of the male desire to confine and isolate women and unironically referred to them as "wooden burqas") and has since been on a quest to become the most average person ever. | |

Naomi's mum Gina in Skins turns their house into a commune populated by naked people, Jesus lookalikes, free love (one of the hippies notes of just-woken-up-naked-Naomi that "it's nothing he hasn't seen before", and she's "even got the same haircut her mum does"-he's not looking at her head), random transients and dopey women called Dopey who object to the heteronormative patriarchal symbolism of the humble banana. | |

All resources appear to be shared as needed wherever the World Council rules they should go.

Moriarty the Patriot: The Moriarty household functions. While William is nominally in charge, as well as Albert in some aspects, they insist on egalitarianism and equality in all things, and share the workload—in fact, it's required that they all contribute something to the household they all live in, in addition to working to William's plans for his great purpose. Once the all reunite properly in The Adventure of the Empty Hearts, Moneypenny even mentions the empty rooms bothered her deeply and she's happy everyone is together and can happily together—and William has given up his role as leader. | |

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. In the page quote, Dennis the peasant informs Arthur that he refuses to acknowledge him as king, since Dennis didn't get to vote for him, and getting made king by having received a sword from "some watery tart" (i.e. the Lady of the Lake) is no basis for government. He then goes into a far more detailed explanation of how their governance works, to Arthur's annoyance (eventually culminating in him grabbing Dennis). This is stated on the DVD commentary by John Cleese as a parody of radical leftists living in the UK at the time. | |

He takes it for granted that the other survivors will follow him unquestionably. However, when Colonel Sloane advises him to discuss the matter with them, Benteen discovers that they all intend to go their separate way and settle in different states. Benteen is devastated. | |

The Twilight Zone (1985): In "Quarantine", after being revived from cryo-stasis, Matthew Foreman finds himself in what appears to be a small, primitive farming community in 2347. He later learns that although they have abandoned all forms of machinery, they are far from primitive as they use Bio-Augmentation to improve both themselves and the world around them. In "The Wall", the Gate leads to a small, agrarian community on a Paradise Planet where the people work together for their mutual advantage. |

My Name Is Earl. Earl recalls that he once robbed a stoner of all his possessions during a Heat Wave a few summers back. He tracks the guy down, and finds that he's living in a hippie commune outside of Camden, and thus doesn't want his air-conditioner or other items back. He teaches Earl about climate change...but also that it's going to be small changes that help prevent an Apocalypse How. | |

After Michael Smith, the first human born on Mars, builds his new religion, the "Church of All Worlds", in Stranger in a Strange Land, he and his intimates live together in a nudist free love communal home called "the nest". It's actually strictly disciplined and the residents are studying to become superbeings who will soon run the world via Psychic Powersnote accessible to all humans who can learn the Martian language and Michael's unbelievable wealth. Tim Zell and a few friends tried to re-create this environment if not the goals (since neither the Martian language nor unbelievable wealth were available to them) starting in 1962. Their Church of All Worlds, which went in a neopagan direction in 1974, still exists today. | |

The Victorious/iCarly/Sam & Cat fic series "More Moons than Our Eyes Can Recount and Store" focuses on most of the major characters in both series (including Tori, Carly, Spencer, and Sam) revealing that they are werewolves as they form romantic relationships with various others, such as Sam and Carly dating before Carly left to live with her father and Cat joining them in a poly relationship after she and Cat started dating before Carly returned. After they have all graduated from high school, Beck suggests that they all pitch in to help him purchase an old summer camp so that they can form a commune of sorts, allowing the werewolves to run free on the nights on the full moon with ease while still being close enough for them all to find work in the city. | |

Our Daily Bread is about John and Mary Sims, two City Mice who are desperate enough during The Great Depression to accept an offer to work an idle farm owned by Mary's uncle. They are pretty much helpless at farming, until Chris, a dispossessed farmer on his way to California, has a car breakdown right outside their farm. John invites Chris to stay on the farm rent-free in exchange for helping him work it. Inspired, John invites other tradesmen to live on the farm and work it. They wind up establishing a socialist collective farm in which there is no private property and everything goes into one common pot. | |

A handful of examples appear in Ultimate X-Men as a consequence of mutants navigating a society that hates and fears them more overtly in a Darker and Edgier setting. Instead of seizing a country, Magneto based his Brotherhood on an island that they turned into the Savage Land. There they plan to build a culture of mutant supremacy from the ground up, which seems to involve seizing iconic arts of human culture while destroying their institutions as well as humans for cattle. Later on, surviving X-Men and some other mutants are granted a reservation on a barren piece of American soil. Using their powers, they manage to not only terraform it into something livable, but engineer an adaptive, sentient crop as well that puts them on the map as a solution to world hunger. | |

Verses from the New Testament's Book of Acts indicate that members of the early Christian church lived in communes. Acts 2:44-45 says of the early Christians: "And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need." Acts 4:32-37 goes into further detail, describing how all possessions were held in common. Rich believers who owned houses and land sold the proceeds and gave them to the apostles. The first ten verses of Acts 5 describe Ananias and Sapphira, two believers who sold their land but kept some of the proceeds for themselves. After Peter confronts them, they fall over dead. Numerous later Christians (and non-Christians at times) have taken inspiration from this idea. The famous "To each according to his ability, to each according to his need" for one, is traced back to it. Anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon used this as an inspiration for his works, and the slogan was then taken up by communists, socialists etc. The entire verse has of course also served as inspiration to many Christian groups who lived communally (monasteries, for instance, are essentially communes). Members of other faiths now and in the past have also lived this way. | |

Carnival Row: The New Dawn, a communist insurgency, set this up in the territory they control. Everyone must work, but everything that's produced belongs to them all (at least, so it's said). | |

The Meyerist community in The Path. Since the mid-1970s, people have lived and worked there, growing food and pooling resources. They sell swag and books and give classes to earn more money. It's still a very '70s place owing to Meyerist attitudes and styles. It was originally the family farm of founder Steve Meyer. When prospective leader Eddie Lane has a vision of "The Garden" of Meyerist prophecy, it looks just like a more complete version of the community. | |

Erfworld: Jillian's original Side was one under her father King Banhammer. Or as close as you can get in a world that is a 4X wargame. They had three cities, all in a single mountain valley, and they never attacked their neighbors. They had a Predictamancer to tell when enemy units were getting too close, and a Foolamancer to veil their cities one at a time when necessary. They had farms and mines for basic upkeep, but still had to hire themselves out for mercenary work (to distant Sides that had never heard of them) to make ends meet. The bubble kingdom would likely have eventually collapsed under the economics of the world sooner rather than later, but in the end it fell when Wanda Firebaugh convinced an idiot warlord named Stanley to attack. She assumed he'd just get croaked, but when she realized he actually had a chance to win, she joined him and brought down the capital from within. In the Magic Kingdom, the barbarian Hippiemancers do a smaller scale version. There are three distinct groups under the Hippiemancer umbrella: The Florists, the Signamancers, and the Date-A-Mancers. The services of the Florists are in moderate demand due to their ability to grow food and recreational drugs, but the Signamancers don't get much work, and the Date-A-Mancers get almost none. Therefore, wealth is shared equally between all residents so that no one is in danger of disbanding due to lack of upkeep, and on the rare occasions where they have extra money, they donate it to outsiders who need it. |

All Rise: Sherri was raised on one, it turns out, where her parents still live. When she left years ago, it was very difficult to adjust since the outside world is so different. | |

mixed•ish: The Johnson family previously lived on one that was committed to racial equality, with many mixed-race families like themselves before the authorities closed it down. Afterward, moving to the outside world where this is still far less acceptable in the US gives the series much of its drama. | |

The Society: After finding themselves stuck in another world, Allie and the town's government decide to then collectivize assets (like houses or cars) for survival. This displeases richer residents who lost their property, but seems to work overall. They also assign chores, with rations allocated in return. | |
