Communes were self-contained and presumably self-governing living establishments that were organized on a communal basis. They had mess halls and so on. it was a tightly knit community ( at least in theory) and contacts with the outside- though necessary for commercial survival, were held to a minimum. on the lower ranks at leas they tried to impose a moneyless economy. There were a number of societies of this type in the United States- most originally having some Religious basis such as the Ephrata Cloister, now a tourist attraction and such things as convents and monasteries, mission-houses, etc. Therefore they were not (Godless communists). Soe fo the religious ones included the Ephrata Cloister, the Brooke Farm, Oneida Community- portions of which still exist as purely commercial ops, and the Amana society which also manufactures appliances. the Hutterite religion has communistic aspects, and is often confused with the Amish but uses, in fact absolutely requires the most up to date farming machinery and equipment. There were both agrarian and industrial communes. There was one in France, still active that was based in part on a steel foundry- I cannot recall the name. Communes frequently had some religious basis unlilke Marxist Communism.
