I believe most anarchists are against unjustifiable hierarchies.
If you want to consider the dynamic between a tradesman and their customer as a hierarchy, it’s justifiable because it’s one person who is an expert in their trade, working on that trade for something in return. Both parties have consented to this temporary “hierarchy” in order for both parties to receive their desired outcomes.
Now if we want to talk about HOAs… Add them, and their ability to come in and say, “you can’t use that color paint,” and you now have a completely unjustifiable (imo) hierarchy.
Okay. Maybe someone else can explain.

That makes sense. Is there some way to determine what is justified and what’s not?
