A sitcom-style anarcho-comedy from the future we deserve.
In a world where the revolution has already won — there’s kombucha on tap, democracy is digital, and the gift shop is free — six lovable weirdos try to navigate love, power, and who exactly clogged the composting toilet.
Set in a perfect libertarian municipalist commune (emphasis on perfect — no flaws here, folks), Commune Sense is a lighthearted, smart-mouthed series following a diverse group of oddballs as they stumble through romances, debates, puppet shows, dance balls, and the occasional Marxist meltdown.
There’
Zain, the thoughtful gardener with a quietly burning crush.
Rivka, the puppeteer with radical flair and hidden softness.
Ben, the lovable womanizer with too many one-night stands and zero clue.
Logan, the sarcastic realist hiding his heart behind irony.
Zoe, the whimsical poly dreamer spinning through the commune like a glitter tornado.
Felix, the lone Marxist shouting about vanguards and slowly falling for a capitalist with gold stilettos.
And then there’s Avi — the Ayn Rand fangirl no one takes seriously, but everyone laughs at.
Think Friends meets Emma Goldman, if Emma had a podcast.
Mason Carter (born Mushahid Syed) is a poet, fiction writer, translator, and academic whose work explores themes of social justice, autonomy, and the communal spirit that binds people together. He studied English Literature at Shah Abdul Latif University and the International Islamic University, completing his master’s thesis on communes and utopias in literature.
Since 2017, Mason has been teaching English Language and Literature, and he currently serves as a lecturer at Shah Abdul Latif University. His approach to teaching reflects his deep belief in learning as a shared, ongoing dialogue—one that continues to shape his writing and thought.
A writer since 2010, Mason draws inspiration from literary figures such as Edgar Allan Poe, William Blake, Khalil Gibran, and Samuel Beckett. His writing blends lyricism, philosophical inquiry, and political imagination, often blurring the boundaries between art and reflection.
Outside the classroom and the page, Mason enjoys reading, watching films and series on Netflix, and organizing study circles with friends. Above all, he finds his greatest inspiration in fatherhood and in the quiet, curious companionship of his daughter, Elsa.
