I've not heard talk of a commune from hippies ('my people' historically) since I was a kid in the early 70's.
Libertarians [and/or juveniles] OTOH...there must be 50 threads about that on this forum. Would you, could you, one a boat? Would you, could you, with a goat?
It does get a little tedious reading about all the variants of communes started on this forum. I even consider the 20mission type thing a commune of sorts. I remember all the communes that were started when I was young failing miserably shortly after startup. My friends and I talked about making a commune in the 70's but we were broke so we just sat around getting high, fucking each other and watching H.R. Pufnstuf.
all you need is a garden shed/outbuilding/den for parties and sexual freedom, and a small patch of dirt to grow a few carrots to eat when you get hungry. that is considered a successful commune.
