Commune is the structure of the collective, where decision making process and the ownership of the tools of production is shared by all. It is common for communes to also share the living necessities, such as shelter, food, and rasing the children, although that is not a necessary part of a commune.

Membership

People who join communes normally do that by their free will, which increases their chances of success.

Non voluntary

There were cases in the history where people were forced into communes. USSR is one such example, where people were made to chose between a commune (комунна) or more individualistic kinds of organisational structure. People who didn't want to join at all were forced to obey the decision of the majority, and many decisions were set in stone by people sent in to represent the Soviet government. Most of these communes failed very soon due to the alcoholism, sabotage, and theft.
