The Essenes were a Jewish Order that applied libertarian communist economics to their society. They lasted around 200 years, until the Second Temple of Jerusalem was destroyed.

Economy

Essenes lived in common dwellings, ate meals together, shared almost all possessions. They earned wages by working outside the community as farmers or craftsmen.[1]

Culture

The Essenes actively rejected free will and believed all events were predetermined. They also rejected contact with women.[1]
