There are natural hierarchies.
Egalitarianism is a revolt against nature.
You are not equal to yourself from day to day, or hour to hour….
Some people ARE better than others. - more moral, more intelligent, more noble, more capable of leading….
hierarchy(n.)
late 14c., jerarchie, ierarchie, "rank in the sacred order; one of the three divisions of the nine orders of angels;" loosely, "rule, dominion," from Old French ierarchie (14c., Modern French hiérarchie), from Medieval Latin hierarchia "ranked division of angels" (in the system of Dionysius the Areopagite).
This is from Greek hierarkhia "rule of a high priest," from hierarkhēs "high priest, leader of sacred rites" (see hierarch).
The sense of "ranked organization of persons or things" is recorded in English by 1610s, initially of clergy, and probably influenced or reinforced by resemblance to unrelated higher.
hierarch(n.) "one who rules in holy things," 1570s, from Medieval Latin hierarcha, from Greek hierarkhia, from hierarkhēs "leader of sacred rites, high priest," from ta hiera "the sacred rites" (neuter plural of hieros "sacred;" see ire) + arkhein "to lead, rule" (see archon). In Greek antiquity a minor priest attached to certain temples in charge of the offerings and the records of them.
