counterfeit communities  

Definición

  • Counterfeit community is a term first used by John Freie in a 1998 book titled Counterfeit Community: The Exploitation of Our Longings for Connectedness. According to Freie, counterfeit community occurs when people's natural desires to form communal bonds and to feel connected to others are exploited in order to advance self-interest goals (for example, economic profit, power) that run counter to the building of genuine community.
