This is known as "The Tyranny of Structurelessness": https://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm

The argument goes that there is always a power structure and it's better that it's explicit rather than implicit.

Reading that article changed the way I viewed organisations and structure, and how one should act within one.

I don’t believe it exists. I don’t think we can have both. I think it might be healthiest option to appreciate that the system, while possibly being the least bad option, is still irrational, and to operate with that knowledge.

Personally, I think hierarchies are tyrannical and oppressive and should be abolished entirely.

As I have just demonstrated my selfless pursuit of equality for all, naturally I should be placed at the very top of the new non-hierarchy.

There is no top. But you can be in the most middle position.
