- It would be impossible to have a society without social hierarchy unless you remove human nature. Humans naturally want to be better (or at least think themselves better) than others. Even if you removed money, clothes, homes, leaders, material goods from society, humans would still find some way to show they are better than someone else (my cavewoman is hotter than yours, I have more berries, my club is bigger, etc). If there were no social order, society would quickly crumble into chaos of men fighting others to regain a higher place on the totem pole. Again, it is human nature. Do I like to take orders? Not especially. Do I like to give 'em? Yeah. Do I feel superior to others? I KNOW I'm superior. Am I content? Yes, fairly content. Do I want to move up the social ladder? Only so that I can gain more power and money. To me, the social ladder isn't about associating with "better" people, as I believe that there are scumbags on every tier, it is about power and access to better and more powerful "things".
