Commune living requires a different way of thinking. No matter what kind of commune a person joins - ecovillage, co-housing, housing cooperative, or economic communality - they must learn to share responsibility and resources. Individuality in the sense of making the rules, ownership of property, and planning for the future do not exist in the communal way of living. However, commune living can create great social connections amongst people, safety and security, a healthier living environment, and freedom from dependence on the global economy.

The commune is a place where people live and they share everything. When one lives in a commune there really isn't any privacy. The hippie commune was popular back in the 1960's. The hippie commune is not popular today because it did not represent a healthy lifestyle. To learn more about the commune in general you can find a lot of reference material on the internet and in books in the library if you want to understand it better.
