This is a more scandalous and complete entry on Paxus Calta than the official Wikipedia entry. It is also less objective and far less verifiable. Almost all shameless propaganda written by Calta himself. Originally, this was based on a banned wikipedia page, but it has grown a life of its own.
Paxus Calta is a trouble maker thinly disguised as a radical. He self identifies as an anarchist [1] and a funologist (a word he takes credit for coining[2]). Calta also claims to be a memeticist, an organizer, a feminist, a political activist and blogs often and irregularly. Calta attained some prominence beginning in the 1980s as an anti-nuclear power campaigner in eastern Europe and the U.S. He is a member of Twin Oaks Community (and since March 2013 concurrently of Acorn Community) in central Virginia, in the southeast U.S., where he has lived for over a 18 years. He is also an active proponent of and propogandist for polyamory, the idea that consenting adults can honestly practice multiple simultaneous romantic relationships. In 2004, he wrote a chapter of the book The Impossible Will Take a Little While (compiled by Paul Rogat Loeb, in which he detailed a successful campaign to overthrow the Bulgarian government launched by an 18-year old . Calta's philosophical belief include that progressive and radical groups are principally social groups rather than political groups and thus "to spark the revolution you need to build the better party".
Calta is active in contemporary movements against nuclear power, for intentional community living and memetic design. He continues to develop the quasi-science of funology and co-authored the personal growth system called co-empowerment. Between 1997 and 2009 Calta served on the Board of Directors of the Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS). For the last two years of this period he served as the board chair of NIRS. In 2007 he initiated a wiki-book project Contagious Tales and the Honest Seduction and Radical Romance workshop series. In late 2008, he started working with on the Third Generation Social Networking site Bio.cz In 2009, he helped start the failed Villages in the Sky project which is building tree houses and wind turbines at intentional communities, with the intention of spawning new communities. In 2011, he started promoting Transparency Groups designed to improve communication and foster community connections. He is a member of the board of directors of the Living Energy Farm, a dark green ecovillage. In 2011, selected entry's from Calta's blog were printed in the meta-blog StrangeTango.com. In 2012, Calta was arrested with 17 other as part of the Occupy Wall Street movement protests in the city of Charlottesville, VA occupation of Lee Park. [3] In 2013, Calta was the lead organizer for the Loud Love unconference, which used Open Space Technology to determine its content. This event was generally focused on building healthy romantic relationships and empowered consent culture.
Subsequent to this plan, in late 2013, he started working on the Point A project , an urban high achievers income sharing community Calta has become actively involved in starting new income sharing communities in Vermont, Virginia, Colorado and California). While not a resident, Calta was actively involved in the creation of the Compersia income sharing community in Washington DC founded in 2015. [4] In early 2016 Calta was expelled from Acorn Community where he had lived as a dual member for almost 3 years. Calta is also contributor to the Commune in a Box project which is in part an online wiki designed to help people start new communities, especially income sharing ones.[5]
In 2017, Calta because an unofficial dual member with Cambia Community. Unofficial, because to date Twin Oaks (where he has lived for over 20 years) does not yet recognize his dual membership. Cambia is a small intentional community located just 2 miles from Twin Oaks. Cambia is committed to having the highest whimsy to member ratio of any income sharing community.
