Abstract
In South-eastern Asia the Annamites have a unique “Communal Property System” (village communal land). This is not a relic of an originally communistic system, but was developed to cope with the population problem. The later increase of population made this system meaningless, but it continued to Persist even after Annam became a French possession because they left the country economically retarded. This system will suffer the sane fate as the “Mir” of Tsarist Russia and disappear with economic development.
