I not a fan of the "Ask not what you can do for the commons, but what the commons can do for you." I see more of a balance than in thinking like this, we should be doing both.
There is also fundamental differences between community motivations and individual ones.
I agree that the understanding and trust building is key, that is a long and involved process - including strategising and building shared understanding - and recognising that this never ends is also important.

@smallcircles There was an interesting talk by the economist Mark Blyth on Politics of grievance, I don't agree with everything he says, but this conversation reminded me of it. https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=fLWhiugHkbQ
