- skookumchuck 9y agoA more interesting article on it: http://www.twinoakscommunity.org/paxus-307/pax-modesty-inefficient?showall=&start=6 http://www.twinoakscommunity.org/paxus-307/pax-modesty-ineff... It's a survivor of "thousands" of communes started in the 60s and 70s, perhaps the only one. Turnover is about 12% a year. Perhaps the secret to their success is the ability to attract a constant stream of replacements, as members who tire of communism leave. Even so, it shows that if you want to live in a communist society, you're free to form one here in America. Me, I'll pass.
