community of equals

is a presupposition that community is in constant need of verification rather than requiring a goal to be attained.

A community of equals is not a goal to be attained but rather a presupposition that is in constant need of verification, a presupposition that can never in fact lead to the establishment of an egalitarian social formation since the logic of inequality is inherent in the social bond. A community of equals is therefore a precarious community that implements equality in intermittent acts of emancipation.' (Rancière 2000: 83). Rancière, Jacques. 2000.
