Does that equate to a community or a society that seeks the collective good - or do you mean something else?
The alternative is a dictatorship/Oligarchy such as the US, China, Russia - where Government is controlled by a relatively small number of either Lobbyists or Oligarchs and the Leader is a mere puppet like our PM and Trump and most other leaders in power around the world today.
Democracy no longer functions and the mass manipulation of society via ideologically biased media or social networks is out of control as individuals give up on it and just disconnect from the political process.
A good way to achieve dictatorship is to weaken the media, increase distrust in institutions and give people a sense that they are completely powerless to do a damn thing about it.
I would suggest that Getup is a response to this - but am cynical that their motives are also biased but in a different way.
It will all end in tears anyway, so why worry.
