I think its fair to say that trying to just rip up "structures" with no respect for the unconscious structural organization of people in society will naturally lead to a re-enforcement of previous hierarchies. But I'm slightly more radical than the author here, in claiming that there is a way to do it, but one that requires constant critique and constant shifting positions of power in the structures generated. It's quite neurotic to try and ceaselessly force structure into a social world to have some sort of stability--structures can never quite capture the full life of a social world and are always resisted for that reason.
