In "With William Burroughs: A Report From The Bunker," the author emphasizes the limited capacity of the individual to effect significant political change at the present moment. He expresses a certain disillusionment with conventional political avenues, suggesting that the power of one individual is constrained, and that immediate political actions may not lead to substantial improvements in society.

Instead, Burroughs advocates for the importance of individual transformation over political revolutions. He argues that focusing on personal development and self-improvement can lead to more meaningful and lasting change, implying that societal progress begins within the individual's mindset rather than through external political efforts.
