Just take your time and look at the ones that have been together for a long time. Thats the ones to join. They have already been through all the court battles and won. People in general' I think don't care how anyone lives as long as it's not effecting their life in a negative way. You have to love your neighbors or at least get along with them or your not going to make it. I've heard good things about Sweden and especially it's copyright laws-It's the home of Pirate Bay!-good luck
Thanks to everyone for all of your advices about the communes and groups,I would love to join one someday or maybe even start one someday,when that happens, I´ll have your advices always present.
HEy I'm from Gardner Colorado, grew up @ libre, ortivez farm, triple A & red rock communes.. Just a Huerfano kid really... Knew some of the folks of Drop City and I remember of the buildings. There is NOTHING left of it. But there's new blood in the area. Try Earth Mountain Education Farm... They are about self reliance and sustainability... beautiful folks, totally about teaching and doing workshops. http://earthmountainfarm.org/
