In our new series, Outliers, VICE explores worlds beyond the economic mainstream, meeting people who’ve chosen unusual and sometimes radical relationships to money, commerce and capitalism. For our first episode we headed to Virginia, where a cluster of communes thrives in rural, conservative Louisa County.

In exchange for working around 40 hours a week, Twin Oaks’ roughly 100 residents get everything taken care of, free of charge, from food to housing to health insurance. But the community is able to provide so generously because of their successful businesses; for over thirty years, they produced every hammock sold at Pier One and today, they sell tofu to Whole Foods.

We traveled to Twin Oaks to learn what life is like at the communal fringes of capitalism.

With most of these communes, I would hope they would account for disabled persons that maybe are not able to work the 40 hours a week. As in letting them live there whilst also being ok with them doing what they are able to do, even if it's not 40 hours a week of physical labor. In many activist groups and mutual aid coalitions, I've noticed they don't always account for this. If you can't do what they require, despite them being a "mutual aid" coalition , some will outright banish you.

Oh boy, you idiots. The life style you are presenting here is only possible under the current conjecture and status of the country which capitalism you hate soo much. Try to practice the same thing in North Korea which is obviously not a capitalist country and let us see how well you fare. Capitalist or not, U.S. is not the worst place on earth to live, it still provides you with the liberty for what you are doing right now. Your main issue is, if every government and every other citizen in U.S. decides to your way of living, all of you would go to a world of hell despite of you believe otherwise. There are of course middle ground solution which is proven to work in North Europe Countries such as Netherlands, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Germany etc. But if you would switch to that lifestyle Country wide, you would just be a food and slave for more powerful countries like China/Russia. Good luck with that. So live that life you choose but stop promoting it, since in your unlikely success your would fail yourselves.

Imagine just having a turn at things instead of coming home from work and having to do everything. I imagine that there is good and bad to every system but it would be nice if I didn’t have to garden alone and trusting your neighbors enough to borrow what you need. Imagine how much less you spend by having one riding mower shared on the street rather than everyone having to buy their own. If it needs work, having a mechanic already on the team or everyone pooling together to pay for repairs. My pressure washer sits idle in the driveway most of the time but if I hired somebody to pressure wash just once, they want 3x the cost of a machine for the service. I have no illusions of being completely independent of capitalism. I just want someone to have my back really.

This system is directly dependent on Capitalism. It's a work camp where you don't get to own the means of production. These workers leave in 10 years with no equity built up.

Registered = Transferred ownership Owner-Ship = Admiralty Freight at sea. Regis Ter = From the Ground Up = Dead. Nice! So funny, the commune is a cult. It makes $600,000 a year from unpaid workers = slaves. A small monthly allowance. Yeah prisoners get that too. It's an open prison. hahahha. Wow, I love it when capitalists ruins freedom.

This is a better system, but 40 hours a week is too much. You should have much more time for leisure. 4 days a week, 6.5 hours a day is ideal for work. 26 hour work week

I like hoe. It’s more back to a simpler time like with old wild West towns, and a tightknit community that took care of itself instead of big communities relying on everything else around them. It’s like a real frontier town

Right out of the gate, the weight limit for the KIDS swing is 100 bls and she's 100+ a dozen or more.
Love the idea, but dropping out of capitalism would mean moving to N. Korea and let's face it, that place just SUCKS.
BTW .... generating close to a million dollars a year from hammocks and tofu is in no way dropping out of capitalism, it's the apotome of capitalism. 😊

Yo, at the very beginning, that's exactly the kind of community I want to live in. If the bad feeling I get is right, urban America is fuuuuucked, like Great Depression times a hundred fucked. I think about it all the time, take my mom's car and head for the hills, but I know these types of communities don't just take anyone in. There is a process. If the world does collapse and my mom is still alive....... I don't know. I might just risk randomly heading to one, and hope for the best.

It's awesome though. You put an honest day's work in, people will look after you. It's much harder to accomplish with large populations. And some of these places do have a retirement system of some kind. After years of living with the community, you get to chill in old age.
