 Many convenant communities exist IRL, I cant speak for the US but where I live, in South Africa, a place called Orania is well known for this. Intact, internationally known.

Do look up Orania

 I will look about Orania. I like examples.
I can't speak for the US either. nostr:nprofile1qqsqdzwltpr635ehdzfd52tz947qlhq77x2c7j7yguwep9n258k2nuspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qg7waehxw309ahx7um5wgkhqatz9emk2mrvdaexgetj9ehx2ap0vqtr53 can. And btw thanks, the beave, for another nice discussion.

 I have not heard about Orania either! This will be interesting. 

You're welcome. I very much appreciate your perspective as I know you've considered things a great deal.

 So Orania is interesting indeed. Especially since they are calvinists. I hate calvinists 😀. I need to know more about their economic system. Except the fact that they get interest from deposits from South African banks, do they have loans and ursury in general? Is their discount voucher system something like the Argentinian truecke, only more digital? If they don't have loans and ursury in general, then this is very, very interesting.

Quite a good video.

Yeah, Afrikaners in general are Protestants

 As for currency they have vouchers, etc. There is a digital counterpart but I don't know much about either.
