2020: Our Common Destiny, Niki F. Raapana, Nordica M. Friedrich (2008)

Communitarianism is the theory that individual rights must be balanced against the rights of the "community." Its many proponents insist that individual rights and liberties pose a real threat to the health and safety of the "community at large." The founders of the Communitarian Network began "shoring up the moral, social and political environment" in the early 1990s. Today the communitarian theory is the basis for hundreds of new global rules and regulations eliminating individual rights, yet fewer than one percent of the affected population knows about it.

Niki Raapana is the American founder of the Anti Communitarian League (ACL), an online grassroots research institute that studies and publishes papers on communitarianism. Ms. Raapana is the co-author of the Anti Communitarian Manifesto (ACL Books 2003) and the author of "2020: Our Common Destiny" (ACL Books 2006).

Raapana is also the creator of Gertee, her homemade yurt brand.

Niki's political research has been linked to on hundreds of websites, she's published numerous articles in online magazines like News With Views, Tiny House Blog and the UK Column. Her ACL work has been used in Vassar College Seminars and is a primary reference for Thomas Wood's National Association of Scholars Bibliography of the Communitarian Residence Life Movement.
