The building of parallel economies of an empathetically-driven community size (Dunbar's number?) sounds like a wise strategy. But we should be wary of the dark, flip-side of the coin ... cronyism and nepotism — which likewise hasten the fall of the all-encompassing corporate nation-state (or world-state).
Another tactic to hasten the fall of the techno-feudal panopticon is 'Quiet Quitting' and its counterparts in 'Quiet Firing' and 'Quiet Hiring'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work-to-rule
During the course of having spent half a lifetime observing both corporate and academic institutions typical of Japan, that latter strategy has been going on for quite some time. Like community building, the work-to-rule also would seem to depend heavily on individual temperament and social/self awareness. But in thinking about bureaucracies of the past and in other countries, it is probably a universal strategy, though probably more or less subconscious and preceding the more conscious and pro-active tactic of building communities.
Just some random thoughts while fiddling with my digital time card, watching the clock, and pretending I am busy, here at a public school on a West Tokyo afternoon. I rest my case. 😂
