The Relationship Between Religion and the Impetus to Form Alternative Communities
A good chunk of the experiments in these alternative community formations that you explore are rooted in or related to religious and spiritual faith movements. I found that part very interesting and dovetails with some of the stuff I'm researching in my personal time. A lot of them are drawing on this long tradition of a group of people sharing their lives together and sharing their property in common. And I also think that there's, you know, revolutionary elements as well as often at least reactionary or even cultish dynamics that can emerge in some of these.
