As we’ve read about this week, one response some people have to society’s problems is to leave mainstream society altogether to explore alternative ways of living. The articles we read about the Twin Oaks commune in Virginia give a glimpse into one commune born out of the 1960s counterculture movement that is still functioning today.

For your discussion posting this week, please answer one or more of the following questions (you do not need to answer all of these questions):

• Does the idea of self-sustaining communal living with little or no possessions or income appeal to you? Why or why not? Why do you think so few communes have managed to function and remain stable over time?
• Do you think people are able to solve some social problems through the development of an intentional community like Twin Oaks? Or is it more a way to escape from some problems that are inevitable in a larger community? If you don’t think that addressing social issues by creating a new society is the best route, what do you see as a more effective pathway toward creating change?
• Based just on the three poems we read for this week, what do you think Allen Ginsberg, Charles Bukowski, and Tino Villanueva would say about a commune like Twin Oaks? What from the poems we’ve read make you believe that?
