These commune cults tend to pop up about every 100 years apparently. How interesting..

In the 1970s in college I read about Oneida NY and was fascinated by the liberal concept. My relatives had a set of Oneida Silverware.

one of the most fascinating stories in American history, and thanks for the dishwasher, they seem to be the ones with the prototype. The spoons and forks are still available!

Interesting!

No mention of modern HIPPIE Culture. Strange.
In the future, communal life will be aboard starships. At least, that is what Star Trek shows us.

Just goes to show how sheltered we were in the JW cult, I’d never heard of this group.

Some of the first hippies, eh?

Suitable comparison, Chris.
