This is what I meant when I wrote that the politics of the people setting up a project, implicit or explicit, eventually express themselves in the lifespan of the project. Start a heroic project and who owns and controls it? You do, because you did the vast majority of the work.
Some people think that anarchism is against organization or communal work, and it is not. It's against hierarchy and nonconsensual power. Such as the power that even a well meaning person has via heroic work.

When I'm writing a poem, it's an individual project. I may ask the opinion of other poets at some stage, but no one else can finish the poem for me, no one has the right to change it, and there is no particular need for it to be finished. People think that anarchism means that this scales up to projects that affect a group and no it does not.
