I first learned about the Anabaptists through this episode [1] of Dan Carlin's Hardcore History.

It's not mentioned in the article, but an interesting event in the early history was Anabaptists taking over the city of Munster and forming a sort of commune, later having the city sieged upon [2].

It's a little lengthy, but one of my favorite episodes of a history podcast and definitely worth the listen.

The Bruderhof movement also comes from a Hutterist heritage and has several communities in the US and the world, including a historically significant community in Asunción, Paraguay (Villa Primavera)

I grew up in South Dakota and had a friend that left a colony. He had a driving interest in all things mechanical, and loved nothing more than to ride a motorcycle on gravel, spinning the rear wheel. His attitude towards life was very matter-of-fact, and he was a very hard worker. Great guy, I’d like to talk with him again some day.
