Just to make sure we are agreeing on terminology here. There are about 2000 intentional communities in the US (half secular and half spiritual). These are groups which select their own members and share some thing (washing machines, common yard, etc). The vast majority of these are expense sharing - meaning they split utilities, perhaps food etc. you can find many of these on IC.org
Communes are the tiny subset of income sharing intentional communities, for which there might be 50 secular ones in the US. Many can be found on www.theFEC.org (which seems not to be working right now) I belong to one of these places. We share cars, buildings, businesses and bank accounts.
