Which is why the most morally consistent position is to be an anarchist. Perhaps not practical in many cases, but morally defensible.

Anarchism is a paradox though. Because it doesn't exist naturally. We always develop some kind of hierarchy. To do away with hierarchy, we need some kind of enforcement body. And how do we get that without some kind of hierarchy?
I'm kind of anarchic myself, in that I like decentralization of power and resources.
I think the key is to realize that no ideology will work by itself in its absolutist form. Rather we try to get close to it.
So the question to me is, how do we get relative equality without losing the benefits of companies like Google and Amazon.
It's a hard problem. Maybe we're already at the best compromise?
