Nazism represents the boldest expression of this. In reaction to the evils of dominant hierarchical regimes many people claim to destroy hierarchy alltogether. In the name of plurality, relativism, ecology, community, feminism, cooperation, postmodernism, or some other popular concept they object to any hierarchical structure and propose instead a cooperative or ecological model. These models do not assign value or rank, they follow egalitarianism to extreme disorder. These are heterarchical models.
Heterarchical models create a level playing field where all perspectives have equal validity.
Completely heterarchical models excuse themselves from their own rule. The world is relativistic, pluralistic, and subjective, and there is room for both models. Only at the extreme ends of the spectrum are they exclusive of each other. A hierarchical perspective, even one which insists upon possessing the ultimate truth, can still acknowledge the existence and internal validity of more heterarchical models. The modern Catholic Church is an excellent example of this rather sophisticated position.
