You hit the nail on the head. As mercutio2 has been pointing out, there are basically three communities like East Wind in America, and together they form the backbone of the Federation of Egalitarian Communities, the FEC.
Out of the thousands that started in the 60's and 70's, these survived because they all had and have successful businesses.
Furthermore, I'd venture to say that most successful intentional communities run a business. The ones that don't probably rely on outside donations or government assistance.
