Finally! an article on Zendik from a reporter who actually delves into the place instead of just repeating the Zendik's own hype!

See it at: http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/cover/2005/cover1104.html

AMEN!
Here's a thought. To those that "Gagged" the Zendik thread. How about doing what us ex zendiks did and try a go at living at the farm before you go and tell us (ex zendiks) we are being unreasonable and attacking. Maybe, just maybe you will see what this reporter and us ex zendiks did and feel that you too have this feeling that the word needs to get out.
Here are some great points from the article and here again is the webpage http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/.../cover1104.html

Woke up, Got out of Bed, Dragged a Comb Across My Dreads
You’re up at 4:30 in the morning to feed and milk the goats; if you’re not on “goats,” your day starts at sunrise. There are always fences to mend, holes to dig, weeds to pull, or walls to paint. Because there’s a dearth of expertise in the trades at Zendik, you’re mostly learning as you go, which means that building a fence can take a week instead of a day. The morning work is interrupted by breakfast at around 9. Then it’s back to the organic fields. Arol says that a newfound love of Internet fantasy-adventure games has pushed the morning schedule back since I last visited, but adds that she is glad the grueling gardening season was ended with a recent frost.

Lunch is scheduled for noon but usually gets going around 2, along with its two to three hours of group therapy, which the Zendiks call “interpersonal time.” Though the mealtime topic was generally sex when I was there, all aspects of a Zendik’s life are on the table, so to speak. And like something out of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, these are often blistering attacks on the character of a particular person, everyone piling on the fury in the name of love and honesty.

Fawn Zendik, Arol’s daughter, clearly intends to replace Arol as Queen of Zendik when her mother moves on. She flexes her muscles most clearly during group-therapy sessions. Not inclined toward deliberation, Fawn most often speaks in declaratives. “You will stop leading him on,” she said one afternoon to a farmer who was complaining about the advances of a man on the farm. And, Fawn added, he was to stop caring and being miserable. Fawn does not beseech; she describes how the future will be by the sheer force of her will.

With that finished, Arol started in on her “great friend Siah,” who works on the Web site. He’s lazy and doesn’t get his work done, she said. He’s a self-hater. He’s a child. The Zendiks discussed cutting off his Internet access. A man without work is “just a dude,” Arol said. Eventually it was determined that the Death Culture was responsible for Siah’s laziness. The remedy was to realize that Zendik seeks to overthrow the Death Culture. In a clever twist of the blame-society excuse, Siah must therefore attack that society, the source of his laziness, by working harder at Zendik with the zeal of a personal vendetta.

Following afternoon therapy, it’s back to the fields until dinner at around 8, and with it more interpersonal time. Then, at around 10 p.m., for most, it’s back to work—whatever can be done inside—until about midnight. Exemptions are made for “dates”; those not working or on a date gather around a TV or log on to World of Warcraft, their current Internet game of choice. “They watch a movie every single night, and then rail against Hollywood,” said Welsh.

All You Need Is Love
While indicting society for a dearth of kindness and compassion, these sidewalk T-shirt hawkers are perhaps best known for their rudeness and arrogance. It’s not hard to find a District resident who has been self-righteously scolded for insufficient interest in their revolutionary wares. The hostility is real. “Our problem with most people is quality. We don’t really like most people,” says Nika, adding that she’s not worried that the population of her commune has plummeted from around 50 to 24 since the move to West Virginia. “There was a lot of work to do,” she says, “and people didn’t want to do it.”

It took two trips to their commune and about a dozen street or concert meetings until some of the Zendiks began to recognize me. They called on Saturday, Oct. 22, saying they were in a bind: Eight of them needed a place to stay the following night. Despite my girlfriend’s misgivings, we hosted half of the group; the other half stayed with my downstairs neighbor. In the morning, I watched as they made an elaborate breakfast of eggs, rice cakes, organic ground beef, and goat milk. Their leftover eggs would make a nice afternoon snack, they said, never once offering me a bite. CP

In keeping with the general increase in censorship we're seeing in this country in general, the hip forum has chosen to shut down the Zendik thread. This thread was probably read more often than all of the threads in the communal living area combined, but the moderator found it a bit distasteful, so he shut it down.

I can see where that forum got too long and too rambling, but when Old Wulf wrote that if people want to discuss Zendik they should "do it somewhere else" I became concerned. Are there taboo subjects on the "hip" forum? Should there be?

I think if people want to discuss Zendik they should be able to here or anywhere, or does that violate the Patriot Act?

a simple question...by somebody who's really interesting about the censored campaign of this fascist government:
What is Zendik ?

www.zendik.org
Read the thread or google them to learn more. Communal farm organization of sorts, hard to explain.

True story,
I never heard of them until a couple years ago as they operate out west and I am out east. My lady and I were at Wildwood beach, NJ walking the boardwalk. We go into one of the trendy boardwalk t-shirt/body piercing/henna tattoo places. She digs the girl's shirts they have, so as a little surprise I tell her I'll get her one from there(Hoping she picks one of the tight, revealing, corset-ish variety)...and she finds this tank top that says:
"Stop bitching and start a revolution"
Which, of course, I love...so she's wearing it the next day and I see way down at the bottom "www.zendik.org" and that's how I learned about zendik.
I've decided I don't care too much for the group, but they did make a really neat shirt and slogan.
the end.

It appears as though the Zendik thread "sticky" has become unstuck. Where did it go?

I thought it was a good thread, don't consider it negative. Justice Brandeis said "sunlight is the best disinefectant". The Zendikers who are now in my area go around with their "Stop Bitchin Start a Revolution" shirts. But they don't exactly give you the whole story do they? I guess that's why the DC City Paper wrote a lengthy article about them in November 2005

I highly reccomend reading it: http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com, click "back issues, and search for Zendik.

Here's a link to an interesting rant about Zendik. It's really well written.

What do y'all think of it?

Greenhornet · Feb 15, 2006

Also this is the link to the old Zendik forum in the hipforum archives

FTNW · Feb 19, 2006

Ok, that's it.
I'm starting the zendik site up again but this time it's gonna be at www.zendik.net or exzendik.net. I waited for some of you to respond but....
I'm done living in the forest and island hopping so I think I'll get this done today.
