I would say I already live the minimalist life and I've looked into many eco villages. I find them intriguing. However, I notice a good amount tend to have too many rules. Even on what you can eat. I mean, I can totally understand their side and to why but some of them come across as pure dictatorship to a degree.
I have thought about buying land and putting a tiny home on it but a commune would be pretty sweet so there would be some civilization who thought the same.
