>>396885>oh what humans throughout most of their history have survived through 100s If not thousands of plagues, famines, and geographical disasters while living in disorganized self sufficient tribes?Said tribes were not disorganized and always had some kind of social hiearchy, whether formal or informal. Yes, this includes pre-agricultural civilization.
Reality is there is no such thing as a hierarchy less society because some human beings will always be more charismatic, more attractive, more manipulative or whatever else and accumulate more social capital which translates to more say in the community and hence more power. The reason why formal hierarchies are necessary along with rules, laws and policies and procedures determining what behavior is/isn't acceptable along with systems of accountability is because when these formal systems don't exist, what you get instead are informal hierachies dominated by typically the most manipulative, narcissistic or opportunistic ruling their social fiefdom as a personal cult with no method for accountability.
Even the worst formal hiearchy is better than the kind of hell which informal hiearchies tend to produce. Don't believe me? Look at any RL anarchist or Maoist "hiearchyless" group. Alternatively, read about the experiences of employees at "hiearchyless" corporations/coops like valve.
