In theory anarchism opposes hierarchy, in practice any active group will 
sort itself out into an informal hierarchy. In the best the appropriate 
person will take the lead for particular tasks and take direction at 
other times. Key organising skill - knowing when to be an indian and 
when a chief. In the worst it settles into unchanging hierarchy until 
the group blows apart. Arrabal is clearly content to leave the decision 
making/organising to others.
