## Technological Saviors?
The urgency to build an alternative is based on an analysis of our current reality.
The urgency to build an alternative is based on a shared analysis of our current reality. We briefly summarise the main points below.
The monopolisation of our digital lives, the stranglehold of corporate control (aka [GAFAM](https://degooglisons-internet.org/en/)), represents a grave threat to our collective freedom, our societies and our hopes for a good life on planet earth.
We begin with the monopolisation of our digital lives, the stranglehold of corporate control (aka [GAFAM](https://degooglisons-internet.org/en/)), which represents a grave threat to our collective freedom, our societies and our hopes for a good life on planet earth.
We begin with an acknowledgment of their vast accumulation of network effects and resources. We also acknowledge that no single project, product or organisation can create the required shift to a more widespread public interest technology.
We acknowledge the vast accumulation of network effects and resources accrued by these monopolies. This is the basis of our understanding that no single project, "product" or organisation can create the required shift to a more widespread public interest technology.

> Simply deploying libre software is not enough.
When we say public interest technology, we mean a technology which is not built in the service of monopoly. We are speaking of a technology which emerges from elements of democracy: bottom-up decision making, social need, community ownership and ecological thinking. Our aspiration is a technology which is built in the service of social justice, equality and collective freedom.
Our strategy is to mutualise our resources to facilitate this shift.
Our strategy is to mutualise our resources to facilitate this shift. We harbour no illusions: technology alone will not "save us" and simply deploying libre software is not enough. We do not operate in a bubble and do not wish to remain contained within subculture. We aim to re-connect with society.
We can say that _Co-op Cloud_ is a libre software infrastructure project. It is based on open standards, is copyleft licensed and is open and democratically managed.
We can also say that _Co-op Cloud_ is a social movement of hosters, hackers, technologists and their allies who defend a vision of collective self-management.
We are committed to an organisational form which allows us to accumulate knowledge, solidarity, experience and resources. We claim a rich history of grassroots social resistance, direct action and collective liberation.

We propose to go beyond a reductive technological vision of social change.
