I hear this claim a fair bit, admittedly often in communist spaces.

It is said that any group of people bigger than 50-200 people “requires” hierarchy.

I’m not sure about that.

What do anarchists make of this?

    Step back a minute and ask what structures exist that encourage hate crimes? Ask why only the most heirarchical societies tend to have them.

      Patriarchy and religious institutions occur to me as the most immediately obvious answers, but otherwise I’m not sure.

      There are “less” hierarchial countries?
