Yeah, I've been thinking about the similarities between the people who lived in communitarian utopias while trying to do good and the tent encampments on college campuses. I wouldn't do well in either communal living as protest situation!
I have Mary McCarthy’s novella, Oasis, which is a satire of New York liberal intellectuals starting a utopian colony in Vermont. I couldn’t get into it. Too many 1950s cultural references I didn’t get. You are welcome to it!
That was both informative and entertaining! I had no idea of the birth of utopian societies at that time. I also totally agree with you!

Yes, that sounds interesting, thanks. This means we'll have to get together again soon!
Now I feel the need to google transcendentalism and figure what movements it is similar to today.
Again, interesting and well written. That Oneida community, though, does sound reasonable. . . .
