You were two steps away from discovering libertarian socialism/democratic confederalism

Riiight, a tried and true political/economic system which is sure to work perfectly as soon as it's tried, just like communism.

If your political system is based on hierarchy

If you're human, your political system will involve hierarchy as soon as more than about a dozen individuals are involved.

This is literally capitalist propaganda

Suuure... it's capitalist propaganda to acknowledge that all mammals act in ways that are hierarchical and unfair.
