When I originally thought about the social construct of a community I was advised against using the “s” word because of the red scare in the US and because of the trauma of the communist times in Romania. Even though I do not think communism was a good thing for this land, I do not think that capitalism is good either. So maybe we should start from the beginning and understand what socialism is and why it is not enough for this intentional community in order to approach ecosocialisn.
