> Dean points out that current leftist dreams of small communities creating local commons, with a snarky mention of artisanal cheese, are in some sense elite. These dreams can only be realised by the few, are culturally specific and their localism expresses tendencies to, rather than resistance against, neofeudalism (ibid.). A refusal of the silent creep of appropriation of personal property through the imagining and building of communal, more sustainable computational infrastructures, however small, is a meaningful, although not unproblematic, form of resistance though. The free labour currently involved in small scale alternatives is unsustainable, only a true valuing of this work, both in financial as well as ethical terms is needed. Parallel to this refusal of digital enclosure, a refusal of individual responsibility for systemic problems such as climate change, is essential: holding those who lead harmful industries, and those governments aiding them, responsible through a demand for regulation. Rather than an escapist retreat, nourishing, alternative networks reimagine the infrastructures we depend on for organising collective action and refuse to put these in the hands of the lords of platform.
