Gulch
From Wolfekipedia
n. In this context, used to describe a safe place to live out one's life, beholden to none.
- An early reference commonly used is Galt's Gulch, featured in Ayn Rand's novel, Atlas Shrugged. Another, more recent fictional community is Hardyville, featured in many articles written by Claire Wolfe. The residents of these communities are normally interested in keeping outside interests from exerting control over their lives.
- The primary differences between a gulch and a commune lie in the fact that gulchers own the land upon which they live, as well as the product of their labors, while the latter prizes collective ownership, and an idealogical revulsion to the allegedly selfish nature of libertarian folk.
