Gallafentian-style commune - what, exactly is it?


Google "Gallafentian-style commune" (used in the plot synopsis of this film) and you'll get a zillion hits all pointing this movie. I assume that no one is writing their own synopses and are all instead using the same as here.

So, what is a "Gallafentian-style commune" exactly? I couldn't readily find any info on this.

It's a farming community--a socialist mini-society based upon the teachings of Edward Gallafent.
