The community is a group of individuals.

The alternatives are state control or control by an oligarchy.

I believe that control by the community is nearly the equivalent of state control.  The community may choose to support a business but not be part of the control of that business beyond as Gaspar said about not purchasing the goods or services of a business. 

Things like polution control are part of either state or community control that protect the community.  Beyond protecting the community from potential harm caused by a person or business,  I don't believe the community as a group should control the individuals/businesses that make up that community.
