It’s not possible. For those communities to thrive you need a hierarchy and authority figures that become impossible to justify over time unless you’re living in some kind of religious framework. The community has to collectively enforce against freeloaders, again only possible when you’re living under a framework that cannot be reasoned or argued against. You have to put free will and individualism to the side which I think would take the “fun” out of that experience. There’s a reason a lot of the freewheeling communes from the 60-70s didn’t make it.
Individualist communes, of the type I assume you’re looking for, will only become viable once we have reliable robot labor that have enough articulation to do most labor that humans can.
