Belief that heirarchies are natural and desirable because some people are better than others is the worldview required to be vulnerable to the lie of fascism, it’s the precursor to all supremacist thinking.

It isn't because "some people are better than others", it's because some people are better than others at leading. Leadership is a skill, and it can be learned and practiced just like any other skill. You could say, "Hey, Mary is good at fixing things, let's put her in charge of repairs. Margaret is good at planning projects and organizing people, let's put her in leadership."

And no, it doesn't imply that the person leading should have total control over everything or that they can't be held accountable.

If you look at opinion polling across countries, die-hard support for supremacist candidates hovers around 25-40%.

You said "humans who want hierarchies" and you're equating that with "support for supremacist candidates". Does that mean that if I support a centrist or a left-wing candidate, then I don't want hierarchies? I can tell you, there are certainly not that many anarchists in the world. 60-75% of the population?
