Ecovillage, Intentional Community, Cohousing, Cooperatives, Sustainable Community An intentional community is a group of people who have chosen to live or work together in pursuit of a common goal or vision.

Communities forming, seeking new members, people seeking community, etc: http://reach.ic.org. www.planetfriendly.net /community.html

IC Web Site: Communities Directory: Article - Who We Are: An Exploration of What "Intentional Community" Means An "intentional community" is a group of people who have chosen to live together with a common purpose, working cooperatively to create a lifestyle that reflects their shared core values. Communities are replacements for extended families for people who have lost touch with their biological extended families or whose families cannot offer a loving environment. "Intentional community" means a group of people of similar or like attitudes, goals, outlook, and worldview that is comprehensive in its functions, including residential or housing provision and work opportunities actually utilized by members for subsistence production of at least some of their necessities. www.ic.org /pnp/cdir/1995/05quest.html

NewsA.asp?LANGUAGE_ID=2&CATEGORY_ID=30&NEWS_ID=113581 Ton Long Bat, Chairman of the Tinh An Tay People's Committee, said apart from drawing experiences from developed craft villages, the Tinh An Tay commune has also invited skilled artisans in Ha Tay province to provide skills training for the local people. Used to be a commune specialising in making bamboo and rattan baskets, Tinh An Tay's basket and rattan weaving was gradually burried because of poor consumption. To revive the trade, the local administration has sent teams of officials to the well-known craft village of Phu Nghia commune, Chuong My district, northern Ha Tay province to learn about traditional handicrafts. www.vnagency.com.vn /NewsA.asp?LANGUAGE_ID=2&CATEGORY_ID=30&NEWS_ID=113581

Meadowdance As much as reasonably possible, living and working together, so that people's lives aren't divided between a 9-5 community of co-workers and a nights-and-weekends community where they live. Being part of a community where people know, help, and support one another, and where people can come together to do things they couldn't do alone (art, activism, conversation, shared child care, etc.) Intentional communities have a broad range of goals and values. www.meadowdance.org   (3845 words)

Communalism (6) (Rexroth) As in most secular communes, there was a strong emphasis upon the radical reform of education, with “perfect freedom of intercourse between students and teaching body.” There were no rigid study hours and the children’s time was divided between school and work in the fields or about the house. Lafayette, Camilla Wright, the Owens, the white people of Nashoba, and William McClure were made trustees and Frances gave them title to the estate, all her personal property, and the ownership of the slaves, and the others were invited to “invest” in the venture by donating money, property, or labor. Most of them were extremely short-lived, and many, for instance Amos Bronson Alcott’s, were not really communes at all, but a kind of impoverished community boarding house occupied by a handful of eccentrics. www.bopsecrets.org /rexroth/communalism6.htm   (3845 words)

Worker Cooperatives The transition to commune was premature at the least, and resulted in factions and feuds; open struggle among people of differing class backgrounds and outlooks, splitting the community beyond repair. The Commune of Paris had particular significance in the history of the socialist movement worldwide, as it was viewed as the prototype of the future society by all schools of socialists until after the Russian Revolution. In both cities and frontier communities the working people were being pressed hard by a social system ruled by and favoring the rich. www.red-coral.net /WorkCoops.html   (3845 words)

The Paris Commune "Instead of deciding once in three or six years which member of the ruling class was to misrepresent the people in Parliament," wrote Marx in his brilliant work The Civil War in France, "universal suffrage was to serve the people, constituted in Communes." The Commune abolished conscription and the standing army; it decreed the separation of church and state; it began to devise plans to reopen factories under the control of the workers in them; and it abolished night work for bakers. The Paris Commune was elected on March 26 and remained in power for only two months. www.socialistworker.org /2002-2/433/433_10_ParisCommune.shtml   (1003 words)

Freqnetly Asked Questions Intentional communities have emerged as a result of a number of people consciously and purposefully coalescing as a group in order to realize a set of aims (although the founders may have existed as an informal group prior to declaring their "intentionality"). An intentional community is a relatively small group of people who have created a whole way of life for the attainment of a certain set of goals. Unlike communes elsewhere, the kibbutzim are, and always have been, very much an integral part of the (Jewish) national liberation movement (which established the State of Israel) and then of the state itself. www.communa.org.il /faq.htm   (1003 words)

What is an Intentional Community? In essence, an intentional community is a group of people coming together in a place they create to live in some particular way. For many people, the idea of an intentional community doesn't ring a bell even though it has been in practice for thousands of years. The variety of intentional communities is nearly infinite: some are religious, some are not; politics run the gamut; they are large and small, rural and urban, ecologically minded and materialistic. www.meadowdance.org /basics.htm   (1003 words)

Democracy: More Than Ever We can and Must Do Better Than That -- By Bob Avakian This cry of “the dictatorship of the party” is inescapably linked with “they should not have taken to arms”—the refrain raised by counterrevolutionaries in condemnation of the Paris Commune as well as the Russian Revolution, as Lenin pointed out, and the common refrain of such people in opposition to all genuine revolutions, especially proletarian revolutions. Once again the historical experience of the dictatorship of the proletariat has shown that it has not been possible to apply this principle in the strict sense in which Marx spoke of it, drawing from the Paris Commune, where officials were elected by the masses and subject to recall by them at any time. The dictatorship of the proletariat also involves an element of coercion, by the state, in relation not only to antagonistic classes but also to individuals among the (broad category of) the people. rwor.org /bob_avakian/democracy   (14022 words)

The Paris Commune Therefore the Paris Commune did not "break with the tradition of the State, of representative government, and it did not attempt to achieve within the Commune that organisation from the simple to the complex it inaugurated by proclaiming the independence and free federation of the Communes." [Kropotkin, Fighting the Revolution, vol.2, p. In fact, the example of the Paris Commune was in many ways similar to how Bakunin had predicted that a revolution would have to occur -- a major city declaring itself autonomous, organising itself, leading by example, and urging the rest of the planet to follow it. The Commune of 1871 played an important role in the development of both anarchist ideas and the movement and so should be remembered and, equally as important, learnt from. flag.blackened.net /revolt/anarchism/writers/anarcho/commune.html   (2426 words)

The Rise of the National State The medieval commune was one of those constructive social systems where life in its countless forms flowed from the social periphery toward a common centre and, always changing, entered into the most manifold connections, opening for man ever new outlooks for his social being. Medieval man felt himself to be bound up with a single, uniform culture, a member of a great community extending over all countries in whose bosom all people found their place. The medieval community was in all fields of its rich social and vital activities arranged chiefly according to social, not governmental, considerations. www.anarchosyndicalism.net /rocker/nc-5.htm   (4809 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Dante Alighieri On 6 July, 1295, he spoke in the General Council of the Commune in favour of some modification in the Ordinances of Justice after which his name is frequently found recorded as speaking or voting in the various councils of the republic. This victory was followed by a reformation of the Florentine constitution, associated with the name of Giano della Bella, a great-hearted noble who had joined the people. Dante thus grew up amidst the triumphs of the Florentine democracy, in which he took some share fighting in the front rank of the Guelph cavalry at the battle of Campaldino (11 June, 1289), when the Tuscan Ghibellines were defeated by the forces of the Guelph league, of which Florence was the head. www.newadvent.org /cathen/04628a.htm   (4415 words)

FINAL WARNING He felt that the peasant communes could be the socialist society of the future, and called for Russian Socialism to be based on the ancient peasant tradition. A red light was indeed moving towards America, and it was communism, which at its peak, controlled 14,000,000 square miles of territory, or about 1/4 of the inhabited land in the world; and close to 1,500,000,000 people, or about 1/3 of the world's population. Ralph Waldo Emerson, Horace Greeley, and Henry David Thoreau, established another Fourier commune at Red Bank, New Jersey in 1843, where members picked their jobs and were paid according to the repulsiveness of their work. www.govsux.com /NWO6.htm   (4415 words)

Tvind Alert - DRH Holsted To the best of my knowledge neither of these people was registered with the local commune as required by Danish law-doubtless an oversight.For the sake of Humana's reputation someone should check. I could never work out what good reason there was for this but I suspect it is a method of subsidising the "economy" of Byens Lys since Vamdrup is much larger (Vamdrup is an efterskole and has over 50 students in - theoretically secure - accommodation). There is no sympathy or recompense from "the management" who simply say that the volunteers were silly to have such items in their unlocked rooms. www.tvindalert.com /colleges/drh_holsted.htm   (4415 words)
