Bit of a ridiculous statement tho, right? It's working just fine, working as intended even! People with political power are able to use land as they see fit, forming "intentional communities" organized around profit and exploitation, etc. Just like Plato said!

Where it gets weird is when you try with a different intention while still trapped inside too many of the constraints of another, very different intention. Therefore, nothing wrong with "intentional communities" as a concept; in fact, that's what humans always do except when they live completely off the grid as hermits. Devil's in the details yo.
