美国共产主义社团——双橡园公社介绍
Twin Oaks Intentional Community
双橡园理念社区
Twin Oaks is an intentional community in rural central Virginia, made up of around 85 adult members and 15 children. Since the community's beginning in 1967, our way of life has reflected our values of cooperation, sharing, nonviolence, equality, and ecology. We welcome you to schedule a visit.
双橡园是一个由大约85位成人和15位孩子组成、位于维吉尼亚州腹地乡村地区的理念社区。自1967年公社成立以来,我们的生活方式已经反射出协作、共享、非暴力、平等、生态的价值观念。我们欢迎你预约访问。
We do not have a group religion; our beliefs are diverse. We do not have a central leader; we govern ourselves by a form of democracy with responsibility shared among various managers, planners, and committees. We are self-supporting economically, and partly self-sufficient. We are income-sharing. Each member works 42 hours a week in the community's business and domestic areas. Each member receives housing, food, healthcare, and personal spending money from the community.
我们没有宗教团体,我们的信仰各不相同。我们中间没有核心领导,我们通过多方面的管理人员、计划者、以及委员会中实行的责任民主管理我们自己。我们在经济上自我维持,并且部分地自给自足。我们的收益共享。每个成员在社区生意和家务上每星期工作42小时。每个成员从公社获得住房、食物、医疗护理、以及个人零花钱。
Our hammocks and casual furniture business generates most of our income; indexing books and making tofu provide much of the rest. Still, less than half of our work goes into these income-producing activities; the balance goes into a variety of tasks that benefit our quality of life - including milking cows, gardening, cooking, and childcare. Most people prefer doing a variety of work, rather than the same job day in, day out.
我们的吊床和偶尔的家具生意是我们的主要收入来源;编订书目和制作豆腐(的收入)占有了余下(收益)的相当一部分。尽管如此,只有少于我们半数的工作涉及到了这些收益生产活动;余下的用于各种各样有益于基本生活条件的任务——包括挤奶、园艺、烹饪、孩子照料。与日复一日不变的工作相比,大多数人更喜欢从事多种多样的工作。
A number of us choose to be politically active in issues of peace, ecology, antiracism, and feminism. Each summer we are hosts to a Women's Gathering and a Communities Conference where we welcome both experienced communitarians, and seekers who are new to community living.
我们中相当数量的人在和平、生态、反种族主义、女权运动的政治活动中很活跃。每年夏天我们都要为欢迎有经验的共产主义者和对公社生活有兴趣的探索者而举行的妇女聚会和公社协商会做东。
