Actually an interesting take on the "commune" is in the movie Easy Rider where the riders drop in on a commune where things are mind numbingly boring and no one is pulling their share. The theory in practice.

...a commune where things are mind numbingly boring and no one is pulling their share. The theory in practice...

An accurate assesment.

Five or so others and myself lived on 100 acres separatly and were working on Art and Music projects.

We would periodically visit various communes in the Greater Santa Cruz area and observed what you described.

Most of these people thought they were on a new wave tht would change civilization as we know it...LOL...then they came down.
