 1. The only people who reject hierarchies are communists.

2. Yes I am an elitist, I don’t believe all humans are inherently the same as would be evidenced by how me playing a game of basketball 1v1 against Michael Jordan would go.

3. I’m Australian.

 I initially followed you because you identified as an Australian. My point, albeit not so well made, is that you were exhibiting a mindset typical of brainwashed US Americans, particularly the ranting about 'communism'.

Elitism is not understanding that ppl have differing levels of ability, everyone understands that. It's the elevation of one class of ppl above others. And ppl who ptofess it always want  to include themselves in that class, of course.

And btw, going back to your name calling about my being a communist, I am in the top 0.01% of capital accumulation (wealth). That capital gives me certain power, but doesn't make me, or anyone else of similar wealth, 'elite'.
