conviv

Most of my life I’ve been an activist around technology infrastructure and radical skilling, in-and-against the professional-managerial class, ‘tools for conviviality’. Since the 80s, this has meant digital infrastructure and participatory design (some of this, growing from Scandinavian roots, some from rank-&-file British trade-union and community organising). Recent years, I’m aligned with solidarity economy, and commoning as a politics of dual power. I understand commoning to be a deeply radical movement, intrinsically contra-capitalist, -statist, -consumerist, -supremacist, -extractivist.
