I know they exist, I've looked, like I've said, but in general they don't tend to last long. And the kind of person who starts/joins one isn't just someone who "walks the walk", they're generally someone predisposed to far left ideologies who are out of step with "normal" society. I'm sure plenty of rank-in-file people would exist perfectly well in a commune, but they don't try to because they're acculturated to capitalism and mainstream society and so they just live their lives in mainstream society and aren't a part of any potential study on how "just anyone" would fare in a commune.
