Yikes, makes me squidgy just to read this.
I am of the 2nd generation after that era. I know a number of peers who come from succesful and self sustaining intentional communities that started in California. I don't think it os a small thing that each in its own way fostered and funded the creation of charitable organizations that are built on some concept of service to humanity. And the children of these communities were raised amongst this. Some taking on leadership.roles for a period in those endeavors.
Amongst other skills and grounding in the world as it is, it also can allow for some discernment and a method to developing personal self-reliant tools to deal with the darkness that abounds.
This work continues anongst some of these communities into the 3rd and now 4th generation

I lived in communes off and on into the early/mid 70's. I tried to get friends to purchase land in Southern/Mid Oregon Coastal region to do it again and build something sustainable. Alas, nothing came of it.
I think that the efforts that went into those communes/communities will be felt for generations as it mutates out. Remember, we are in it for the long haul. I would suggest reading David Graeber's & David Wengrow's "The Dawn of Everything"...We need to know that it is all worth the effort for those that will come in the future. Reading "DOE" brought me back to my self.
