OK, through the magic of using two browsers, I can now re-read your comments.
You're right, I completely misunderstood your comment. I apologize for that. I was on my phone and not properly paying enough attention.
I actually completely agree with you. The issue is that we need to actually abolish all forms of unjustifiable hierarchy - as you perfectly put it, "as long as there are positions of power within your system, sociopaths will continue to seek and attain them, and the cycle will start anew." This is, obviously, a very difficult task, which will undeniably require a great deal of effort. A "social revolution", as I would put it - where not the ruling class are overthrown, but the entire vertical structure, where people are in positions of power over others.
This is actually the foundation stone of my entire political philosophy - which is anarchism. If you haven't heard much about anarchism before, you probably have some misconceptions about it, so I encourage you to watch the Q&Anarchy video series by Thought Slime or have a look through an Anarchist FAQ, because it's almost definitely nothing like what you think.
The term "anarchy" actually comes from Greek, basically translating to "without rulers", or "against hierarchy".
I personally believe that it's the most coherent philosophy which adequately explains and addresses all of the problems which plague our society, and which holds the most promise for a path out of the inevitable cycle of the continuous rise and fall of fascism that capitalism (and hierarchy) makes inevitable.

I would really like to engage with you in good faith, but I'm struggling to keep up with this conversation because for some reason the comments aren't loading, I can only reply to you through my inbox, and it's really messing me up. Do you know what might be happening here? Kinda need to fix this to re-read our conversation, if I have been unreasonable then I will gladly apologize though. I want to be fair.
