The Longo Maï Cooperative Network is a transnational network of self-managed rural communities founded in the 1970s across Europe. Emerging from anti-authoritarian and ecological movements, Longo Maï communities practice collective land ownership, direct democracy, and cooperative production. Governance is based on assemblies, shared labor, and mutual aid between communities, rejecting hierarchical leadership and state dependency. The network functions as a living example of sustained non-state communal autonomy rooted in ecological stewardship and collective decision-making.
