Plural of communistery; communities or establishments organized according to communist or communal principles.
Formed from communist + -ery (a suffix denoting a place, practice, or group), with Latin roots. This appears to be a rare or archaic formation attempting to create a noun for communist communities.
This word is so obscure that it barely appears in historical records—it seems to have been a 19th-century coinage that never found favor, possibly because 'communes' was already the preferred term for these shared living spaces.
The suffix '-ery' combined with 'communist' to denote communist spaces/institutions; masculine-default framing obscured women's foundational roles in organizing communal spaces.
Use 'communist communities' or 'communal spaces' to avoid archaic gendered collective nouns and clarify inclusive participation.

Women established and managed communal kitchens, childcare, textile production, and mutual aid networks in communist experiments; these labor-intensive roles were rarely credited as 'communist work'.
