this isn't about pursuing power, i think what this person is person is saying is that you need to have power to really control things within "society" or the non-anarchist world, and that without power there's no hope in reversing what those do who have it.
And i agree with your disagreement that "we all seek power". I don't care about power at all, other than the power to do what I want and pursue what i want. The way crime thinc. mentions it makes it sound like a sort of monolithic idea that's part of our nature, i think the raw pursuit of power is empty and boring, UNLESS it's about seeking the power to do what one wishes. A lot of people don't want to be president or be super wealthy because they see that in the end it ultimately subtracts from the pursuit of desire instead of enhancing it.
