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.
Sorry for the delay, I tend to neglect my comment reply notices…
I believe I said in another comment in this thread that I recommend reading, “Anarchism and other Essays” by Emma Goldman, and, “The Conquest of Bread,” by Piotr Kropotkin.
“Mutual Aid: A Factor in Evolution” by Kropotkin is also very good.
I know that theory can be boring, but I’ve found both Kropotkin and Goldman to be very compelling reads… Just make sure you have a pencil or highlighter ready, because so much shit hits home

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