    Every successful revolutionary organization was hierarchical. Being afraid of hierarchy is like being afraid of walls. Sure, if you build them poorly they might fall on you, but if you follow some pretty basic guidelines you have a reliable structure that will protect those within in with no set backs.

      A revolution is a body and the revolutionaries are cells. Even if there is the ability for cells to migrate around the body and change roles, the overall structure of the body inevitably leads to some form of hierarchical distribution of responsibility.

      Much like a body though, a just hierarchy can function harmoniously, and there are no cells that have defacto power over others since delegation is determined by the superstructure itself.
