Opposition to Hierarchy, oppression, and domination: Hierarchies are institutionalized relations of command and obedience. All forms of class relations, domination, and oppression should be abolished and replaced by egalitarian relations. Hierarchies can take the forms of capitalism, statecraft, colonialism, patriarchy, racism, along lines of ability and more. Different kinds of hierarchies are distinct from one another and affect one another in various ways, but all contain institutionalized forms of command and obedience. Hierarchies inhibit freedom and egalitarianism and create negative social health relations across the board.

Contrary to hierarchy, freedom is a social relationship that enables participation in political and social life within egalitarian bounds. Freedom of persons and collectives should end where the freedoms of others should begin and we have a duty to respect such freedoms of others.
