Jonestown was held up as a benevolent communist community, with Jones stating: "I believe we're the purest communists there are."[38] Jones' wife, Marceline, described Jonestown as "dedicated to live for socialism, total economic and racial and social equality. We are here living communally."[38] Jones wanted to construct a model community and claimed that Burnham "couldn't rave enough about us, the wonderful things we do, the project, the model of socialism".[39] Jones did not permit members to leave Jonestown without his express prior permission.[40]
