Real community is communal, but not necessarily, or even ideally, an economic commune.


There are oo kinds of economic systems:

  1. A single dinner pot that owns all of the families in a group.
  2. A group of cooperating families, each owning a dinner pot.
The wo'th kind of group is a community because it is an economic commune. The oo'th kind of group is a community, not because everywo eats from a communal dinner pot, but because the families cooperate when there is a need to join together to promote the interests of the group. The test is whether the families (or individuals) within the coalition pull together and are united in purpose when there is a need to do so and be so.
