I don't actually mind voluntary communes. Sure, they're silly and fail, but some people need to pay tuition to learn a thing. I've had to pay plenty in my life. Not going to scorn anyone else's education. Hopefully it produces improved people.

Your critique is a bit misleading and decontextualised. Full quote: "Though it peaked at just 32 people and was officially shuttered in 1847 after being devastated by debt, smallpox and a fire, it became an American model for subsequent utopian projects."
