- 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 movements 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 (WP), especially 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.
(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 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.[1][2]
