The question is flawed because it treats hierarchy, domination, and oppression as similar concepts, when they’re fundamentally different. Hierarchy isn’t inherently oppressive or bad. It is a feature that we evolved as a social species to coordinate action and reduce conflict. Hierarchies is precisely how we organize. The issue isn’t hierarchy itself, but whether it’s accountable and responsive. Domination and oppression arise when hierarchies become rigid and unchallengeable. So no, those outcomes aren’t inevitable, they’re the result of how power is structured and maintained, not of organization itself.
I understand. You think that hierarchy is an inevitable outcome of social organization, but that it need not lead to domination or oppression. Correct?
Hierarchies aren’t an outcome, they’re a requirement for social organization. If you think that you can socially organize without some hierarchy in place then you’re delusional. Trying to equate a concept this basic with oppression just demonstrates your ignorance tbh
