    Activists learn already-existing capabilities they do not possess (and others do).

    Activists acquire such capabilities through instruction (as pupils).
    Activists keep politics and life apart until the goal is achieved.

    Activists embrace only the same goal.
    In work of HIGH AMBITIONInterests are defined by the persons whose interests they are.

    Interests are emergent.
    Identity claim is based on distinctness.

    Activists acquire such capabilities through interactive discussion between teachers and taught.
