An Anarcho-Syndicalist Commune is a fictional anarchist community in medieval Britain in the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Decision-Making
Unlike other medieval communities, an anarcho-syndicalist commune is an autonomous collective that doesn't have a lord (the nearby castle being uninhabited). Dennis describes their decision-making process as follows:
We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week, but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of purely external affairs.[1]
Economics
The community seems to mainly centered around farming, presumbly run according to the principles of workers' self-management. Living standards are notably better than some of the surrounding communities, that are often filled with poo running through the streets.
Culture
The community is strongly skeptical of the authoritarian desires of King Arthur, and is not subject to the tyranny of the majority through witch hunts or constant lying in other communities.
