Are you setting up a radical islam community like the taliban?? sounds like the same thing,what will you call it? Now that you have climbed the ladder of truth into your ivory tower are you going to destroy the ladder an throw you slop of truth over the back wall to the swine below??? I don't get angry any more but people like you sure tempt me.. If all who have learned a truth do not set a living example what are those younger ones to Do?? what if those who taught you would have had no contact with you?? I write this hard word from LOVE, Not anger.whistle britches

the only ones that i know of are religious orders of the enclosed type like the Carmelites, Poor Clares, and a few male orders.
I`m sure there may be some in the secular world but none spring to mind, certainly there are some ordinary people who have got it right and don`t buy into the capitalism, i do know a few honestly.
we have to use money to live but the love of money is the problem.
All the fat cat capitalists of the world have an unhealthy lust for money.

Since most have been named, I will direct my response in another direction. I keep seeing the word capitalism used several times..this is not what they are about..rather, not to subscribe to all the the advantages of the world. .. Their primary outlook remains..."You must live in the world but be not a part of the world." To single out capitalism is erroneous as they do their fair share of buying and selling.. Although being self sufficient, their over abundance does reach the market place quite regularly.

Quakers, too, are often quite resistant to global capitalism. Many Mennonites and Peace Churches are, too.
There's a long history of attempts at Utopian Communities in the US, mainly in the 19th century, that eschewed capitalism for a sense of community.

Try the Amish in Allen County, Indiana. You would have to learn Dutch to speak to them though and give up on the internet,

Religion and capitalism appear to be inextricably linked nowadays.
