On the surface, this whole thing is not dissimilar to the Amish or the Mormons forming separate communities based on their religious principles. The US has a long history of utopian experiments, from all parts of the spectrum. However, historically, most of them fail and I suspect this one will, too, mostly because it has no charismatic visionary leader, i.e., Monaghan did not (as far as I can tell) have a religious vision as a source for setting up the town, just hardened political views, and he is definitely not a charismatic type. With most utopian movements, once the founding leader dies (or is ousted), everything falls apart in petty political bickering among the successors.

On the other hand, one could also see the hypocrisy of the conspiracy theory held by many on the extreme right that Muslims in the US are trying to establish "Shariah law" in some cities (including Dearborn, Michigan, which happens to be in Monaghan's home territory! I know because I am also originally from that area.). I have no idea if Monaghan and his supporters hold this view, but it is interesting to consider--the denial and projection.

Personally, I am happy to see right wingers and religious fanatics remove themselves from the rest of society so they have less influence and can cause less damage. I'd prefer to see Monaghan and his followers go set up the town in the middle of the rainforest somewhere, but I think he's likely to fail regardless. I feel sorry for children raised in that environment, just like in Texas where the state board of education is adopting religious-based revisionist history as the standard for all their textbooks.

Tom Monaghan sold Dominos in 1998. It spent some time in a LBO firm. That company still owns 30% of Dominos; the rest is traded on the NYSE.
