"If people are different then that's a hierarchy, checkmate anarchists" = truly the most lazy dipshit line conservatives have. 1) Difference is not domination. What we oppose is relationships that constrain net choice. "Social hierarchies" are not any axis of difference.

Amazing how many people try to pull that bullshit like it’s some unassailable argument

Not all differences lend themselves to hierarchy, but some do, in some contexts. Being faster, or stronger, or smarter, having clearer vision, reproducing more... these things lead to material advantages. An additional subjective step to say this justifies hierarchy of course

but ultimately they shouldn't lead to material advantages, given a truly equal society.

Perhaps they shouldn't lead to capital advantages. Perhaps they should be abolished as differences, and anyone should be able to become as strong or smart or fast as they want. But to say they should be stripped of their implications is like saying 2 + 2 "should" equal 5.

that... is not at all what i'm saying? the point is that in a truly just and equal society each person if not most people will have some advantage over another, they will use these to help the community, but it won't substantially negatively impact their ability to live.
