Every town ideally is a parallel society.

Also either you have one social space for everyone accepting of all ideas and views, or you have cultural wars marginalizing and suppressing people unpleasant for you (like racists or religious nuts or whoever), in which case they will have their own space because they don't really have to accept your domination.

I think we are arguing semantics here, subcultures are fine and normal. Parallel societies, like those that form around ghettos full of immigrants, with their own unofficial set of laws and rules certainly are not.

That's more a failure of the integration policies of the host country though.

Well, I think there's Christiania in Copenhagen?.. A different kind of that.
