    You don’t have to respond, but I do want to echo QinShiHuangsSchlong’s point: many hierarchies exist due to necessity or sheer practicality in a way that far supercedes any problems arising from being a hierarchy. For example, horizontally organizing a nuclear power plant is a recipe for disaster, and managing and coordinating the production and logistics chain of sufficiently complex but useful technology like smartphones requires vertical elements to administration.

    The fact of this then brings us to the Marxist critique, that hierarchy isn’t the problem inherently, but class and the products of class society.

      Thanks, Cowbee. But I’ll just stop talking. Its not fun. I fucken hate BrainInABox, and you are the only one out the gate who is interested in discussion. Everyone else is mocking, and then wants to respond in detail once I call it out and at that point I’m already turned off to discussion.
