Hierarchyism

Hierarchyism is the belief that society requires a symbolic hierarchy, such as a constitutional monarchy, in order to function properly. Detractors like Noam Chomsky have decried hierarchyism as being a form of bourgeois hegemony that leads to myriad abuses meted out on the proletariat. The supporters of hierarchyism include, amongst others, Camille Paglia and Salvador Dalí.
