    You can have horizontal hierarchy, where no one has a position above others. People need to agree to certain rules. There are structures that allow for this, such as direct democracy. There will always be a need for some structure, so people know what is and isn’t allowed. Anarchism is not anarchy, as media portrays it. It’s not total chaos. It’s organization that removes vertical hierarchies.

      IMO, this is the only part you got right.

      Otherwise, you appear to be trapped in the inherently self-defeating idea that people can’t be trusted to make their own decisions so people should be empowered to constrain them, resting solely on a foundation of rhetoric and apologetics.
