A "commune" is a type of community where people live together and share resources, responsibilities, and decision-making. Often based on shared values or goals, communes can focus on various aspects such as sustainability, social justice, or alternative lifestyles. Members typically collaborate on daily tasks, such as cooking and farming, to create a supportive environment. Historically, communes have appeared in various forms around the world, from the Hippie communes of the 1960s in the United States to the Kibbutzim in Israel. These communities emphasize collective living and often challenge traditional societal norms regarding ownership and individualism.
