Humans can ONLY place value to objects, subjects, situations, in RELATIVE terms. The habit of prioritizing, organizing and arranging based on RELATIVE value is simply ingrained into us. We simply HAVE to do it. It is human nature.

I agree as soon as you attribute value you create hierarchy as values are compared to each other. This is why socialist ideas of a removal of hierachy have never worked because it opposes our fundamental human nature. Capatalism on the other hand accepts hierachy. Even in our democratic systems we still create the one leader the king, emperor, lord, prime minister, president, we change the rules, the system, the name but our fundamental animal nature comes through every time.

You will never remove the hierarchy unless to change the beast itself, perhaps genetic engineering will allow us to create pure equality, but we would cease to be human as we know it. The best human society can hope for is to make the hierarchy fairer with less of gap between the top and the bottom.
