According to Adamovsky, the current emancipatory movements can be said to be in two opposite situations (somewhat schematically). The first one is that in which they suceed in mobilizing a great deal of social energy in favor of a political project, but which they do in a way that makes them fall into the traps of "heteronomous politics". By "heteronomous", he refers to the political mechanisms by means of which all that social energy ends up being channeled in a way that benefits the interests of the ruling class or, at least, minimizes the radical potential of that popular mobilization. The second situation is that of those movements and collectives that reject any contact with the state and with heteronomous politics in general (parties, lobbies, elections, etc.), only to find themselves reduced to small identity-groups with few chances of making a real impact in terms of radical change.

- Thesis two: Horizontality needs institutions (badly)
- Thesis three: A political organization that “mimics” our bio-political forms
- Imagining an organizational model of a new type
