@keith authoritarianism is a nonsensical term to begin with. Hierarchies and power structures arise necessarily because delegation is more efficient. Anybody who understands even a modicum of graph theory understands why a complete graph doesn't scale.

@yogthos yes but it's not necessary/desirable to build a rigid structure to deal with them. Sure, hierarchies and power develop but that's okay when they are small. Build a structure around them and they will grow. Now you have a problem.

@keith my point is that in practice they grow regardless of whether you create structure or not. The only question is whether they grow consciously and with intent or organically.
