:''This article deals with the use of the word communalism as a force '''uniting''' people into a community, as it is used outside of [[Wikipedia:South Asia]]. See the article [[Wikipedia:Communalism (South Asia)]] for the use of the word to denote a force '''separating''' different communities based on some form of social or sectarian discrimination (''[[Wikipedia:Xenophobia]]'').''

Outside of [[Wikipedia:South Asia]], '''communalism''' is a modern term that describes a broad range of [[Wikipedia:social movement]]s and [[Wikipedia:social theories]] which are in some way centered upon the [[Wikipedia:community]]. Communalism can take the form of communal living or communal property, among others.

Communalism is sometimes said to put the interests of the community above the interests of the individual, but this is usually only done on the principle that the community exists for the benefit of the individuals who participate in it, so the best way to serve the interests of the individual is through the interests of the community. Many of the communalist ideas today come from [[Wikipedia:Marcus Acquinas]], an early communalist philoshopher.

Communalism is often associated with various branches of [[Socialism]] [[Wikipedia:Socialism|(WP)]], especially [[Communism]] [[Wikipedia:Communism|(WP)]] (and, in particular, [[Wikipedia:religious communism]] or [[Wikipedia:primitive communism]]). The term "communalism" is often used instead of "communism" as a way to denote those communal societies that are not based on [[Marxism]].

Communalism also consists a modern poltical libertarian project that aims to establish face-to-face direct democracy in popular grassroot assemblies and an ethical economy, in the general context of an ecological society and confederal municipalism.

[[Wikipedia:Murray Bookchin|(WP)]] developed the project of Social Ecology in order to dissociate from what he saw as the degradation of the modern anarchist movement.

[[Wikipedia:communitarianism]] has continued the ideas of communalism.

== Communal Government ==

In continental Europe of the [[Wikipedia:Ancien Regime]], communalism was a form of representative government (see [[Wikipedia:Communalism before 1800]]). Villages and cities were organized and administered as integral [[Wikipedia:commune (subnational entity)|communes]]. This system still persists in large parts of continental Europe.

== Murray Bookchin ==
In the late 1930s, Murray Bookchin broke with Communism, disillusioned with be believed to be its authoritarian nature, and turned toward anarchism. In 1999, he broke with Anarchism, and took the word communalism to describe the decentralization and localisation of local populations, political power and influence, and industry.<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=n42Rf_ibaMcC&pg=PA21 Environmental activists]; John F.

 Unlike anarchists, Communalists are not opposed in principle to taking part in parliamentary politics -especially municipal elections- as long as candidates are [[libertarian socialist]] and anti-statist in policy.
-Economically, Communalism favours a form of [[libertarian communism]] and the principle "from each according to ability, to each according to need."
