your personal ideal hippie community?
Call me an immature teenager, but i hate structure, routines, and suck at making commitments.
But… i think it’d be absoloutley lovely to change a few of the rules, and give the united states complete freedom, i know this won’t be happening anytime soon, and some people say it’d cause "chaos" & what not, and i agree to a certain extent, but i also prefer imagination versus reality,
so let’s all pretend, and use our imaginations, what would you do to the country with complete freedom? or even if you could just create a small community with no rules or obligations, i guess as an "exception" of rules to the entire u.s.
I personally would follow some transcendentalist points of view, and some "hippie "morals.
You see, at 15, I’m kinda tired of society. I want to change the world, but nobody else wants to.
I’d create a place where people could be allowed to emancipate themselves from the mainstream society… most people choose to be part of said society, but in this community, it would not be forced upon. Mainstream society can often mean misery, and this community would be completely different, a place to relax, and a place to get in tact with your true self- a place to have 100 percent freedom.
There would be structure to a certain extent, but there would be a majority of freedom to do whatever, and a sense of community, where nobody was strangers, everyone got along. Happiness, peace, love and positivity would be incredibly important. Nudity, Drugs, and free love would be normal. There would be some structure, and organic coffee shops, smoke shops, and lounges with big comfy tie-dye bean bags to just ‘chill’ in, there would be domes like the ones @ "drop city", where you could buy to live in for 100 bucks yearly. Everyone would help each other out, and it’d be more like a camp campus, with a kitchen where everyone shared. and lived lifes where to give mean more than to take.
Also, do you know of any hippe communes, or communities that do exist today silghtly similar to my image of my ideal hippie community?
I guess similar to drop city but with more of a sense of community, dancing, singing, meditating, and friendships/free love, but not so farm-landish and distant?
Thanks so much for all of your imput, Peace and love, sorry this got real lengthy :l

You forget one simple little thing. Life. You have to have food, clothing and shelter and that costs money. So how do you get it without working? That means a real job and normal dress etc. There is always a ‘leader’ who has tons of money stashed away that he gets from everyone else. In the 70′s when free love and drugs was big on campus’ I don’t know one person who was ‘really’ into it who is alive today or who had a productive life. Read about Charlie Manson and Jim Jones. They both created what on the surface was close to your ideal world. 8~)
My Ideal hippie colony is filled with nerve gas.
And not the fun kind.
