1 Questions of meaning are easily confused here. The term ‘community’ is commonly these days used corruptly to mean merely a class, a set of people with some common characteristic, as in ‘the Gay community’. Again, a real community (such as a village) does not have a single project, but it might have – what socialists are thinking about – some sense of comprehensive mutuality of obligations among all its members. And that is why I have specified the term as I have.
