In this episode, we examine the dark history of intentional communities — promised lands built on someone else's labor, someone else's body, or someone else's silence. From a New York commune that ran America's first eugenics program and pivoted to silverware, to a 64,000-acre Oregon ranch whose vision of enlightened community ended in the largest bioterrorism attack in U.S. history.
Because utopias don't fail because people are incapable of community.
They fail when perfection becomes more important than consent.
And the walls go up before anyone notices.
