House-commune

These phalanstères were developed primarily from the earlier 19th century intelligentsia and early revolutionary Russian thinking that emerged in association with the preconception of an idealized form of the peasant mir system.

Within their ideological context the mir was supposed to be run by communal governance, equality, and sharing associated with the traditional way of living and surviving in rural villages.

saw the house commune as the way to solve the overcrowding seen in Moscow while streamlining the usage of resources that were thought wasted due to bourgeois excess caused by individualistic habits.

schemes and ideological campaign was to instill this type of “collectivist-social” psychology and replace individualism with the mentality and practicality envisioned by these communal living plans.
