"I am part of communist movements, and we only move forward when we have the chance of imagining how we want problems to appear [...] every meeting that ever supposed some equality, that I have participated [in], has been more anxiety inducing than hierarchical meetings. Antagonism is higher, not smaller in equal settings ... when I feel like I am equal to others I get totally anxious ... it's not a pleasant experience ... and we don't have concepts for that in Marxism. [...] any explanation for the corruption of a political organization that is not described as the effect of some [sic] authority, structuring it. We don't have a name for the immanent problems of organizing in a more equal way. The sort of problem that you create, rather than the problem that you solve."
