communalist
Shared-living movement advocate
A communalist advocates for or practices communalism—the organization of society around small, self-governing communities rather than centralized states or individual property.
The term appears in discussions of anarchist and libertarian socialist thought, where local assemblies hold power.
Communalist can also describe someone who prioritizes their ethnic or religious community's interests, sometimes at the expense of broader social cohesion: Communalist violence erupted between the groups.
