Nomad communities *start* together with socially and economically entangled and portable lives (eg herding). There are no examples I know of of people converging from loosely connected network to intentional community. There’s a libertarian crowd trying to do that in NH.

The mid-2000s movement of Libertarians to New Hampshire did not work out very well. Nor did the Rajneeshis attempted takeover of Antelope. Community is harder than it looks.

There has been a second wave of libertarians to New Hampshire in the last five years. Is it too soon to call it a failed move?
