>The complete text of Kenneth Rexroth's COMMUNALISM:
>FROM ITS ORIGINS TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY is now
>online at http://www.slip.net/~knabb/rexroth/communalism.htm.
>
>With his unique combination of broad historical knowledge and wry,
>down-to-earth commentary, Rexroth ranges from "primitive communism" through
>the communalist tendencies of early Christianity, the radical millenarian
>movements of the Middle Ages and Reformation (Anabaptists, Diggers, Brethren
>of the Free Spirit) and the numerous attempts, successful or otherwise, to
>set up utopian communities in nineteenth-century America (Brook Farm,
>Oneida, Fourierists, Hutterites) to the revival of communalist ideas and
>experiments in the 1960s counterculture.
