Have You Ever Wanted To Drop Out Of Capitalism? | Outliers Ep. 1

Subscribe to VICE News here: In our new series, Outliers, VICE explores worlds beyond the economic mainstream, meeting people who’ve chosen unusual and sometimes radical relationships to money, commerce and capitalism. For our first episode we headed to Virginia, where a cluster of communes thrives in rural, conservative Louisa County. In exchange for working around 40 hours a week, Twin Oaks’ roughly 100 residents get everything taken care of, free of charge, from food to housing to health insurance. But the community is able to provide so generously because of their successful businesses; for over thirty years, they produced every hammock sold at Pier One and today, they sell tofu to Whole Foods. We traveled to Twin Oaks to learn what life is like at the communal fringes of capitalism. Subscribe to VICE News here: Check out VICE News for more: Follow VICE News here: Face
