Hierarchical parent/child relationships are easily justifiable, even self-styled anarchists are quick to justify them.

Cooperative decision-making responds to a need for decisions, which I wouldn't want to let go unquestioned. Rejecting the euphemism for democratic governing, I would rather speak of cooperative production of possibilities and options, ditch authority and the need for decisions even in the individual.

"Blind obedience" is kinda yucky language.

Black and orange remains the ugliest of all anarcho-flags.

Not at all; I would go as far as calling myself a Proudhonian mutualist. I got a thing against flags, especially diagonally bisected ones.

This is not untrue, but I don't know if it's a good thing that this is the case.

Anarchists out there justifying hierarchies. How could that possibly be a good thing?

Justified is the best alignment, I use it in all my documents.

This is right. No need to argue whether you want to call a family a hierarchy or not, the main point is that mutual respect in a family, specifically a parent child relationship, is a must. And I think it’s hard to argue against that.

Edit: I see though the point of those who may say that no hierarchy can be justified. From that perspective the wording is a bit misleading.
