So without a hierarchy, who would establish and enforce laws?
The democratic (i.e collective) liberal State. I've covered this already.
Wealth creates hierarchies. Should we make sure no one has more wealth than anyone else?
No, buty we sure as hell need to ensure those with more wealth are not able to use that wealth to oppress others.
This is why we have consumer protection laws, anti-trust laws, regulation of the market, residential tenancies legislation, ASIC, Consumer affairs etc etc etc.
Thats our Liberal State at work enforcing POSITIVE liberty.
Make sure everyone is equal! If you're a brain surgeon, you get paid the same as a barista. Because we can't have hierarchies.
That's not what I am saying. Quit the hyperbole.
