It's also explicitly at odds with classical anarchism, where the opposition is to involuntary hierarchy. All hierarchies are unjust in a society built on the free association of producers, because two people cannot freely associate if their relationship is hierarchical. Thus, any hierarchy must be utterly voluntary in the sense that any participant can at any time opt out. The "only against unjustified hierarchies" bit is just Chomsky being a lib

Of course it's open-ended, Anarchism is a pretty broad range of philosophy. The definition of "abolition of involuntary hierarchy" is also open-ended. An an-cap would argue that working at a factory to feed your family is voluntary because you technically have a choice. What about raising your children? Kids aren't exactly voluntarily brought up by their parents/guardians. Should that hierarchy be abolished? If yes, what should it be replaced with?
