As I said before, people let others guide them because of the weight of dealing with the world that our parents never told us about. As it stands now, the arbitrary leader is more a solution than he is a problem. You can only expect so much of a regular person.
Hierarchy is also a natural development of dealing with large amounts of people and their corresponding systems of commerce and communication.
As long as there are powerful people who want to do bad things, we will need this hierarchy, even with them as a part of it. Hierarchy is organization, not necessarily an element of an authoritarian regime. And you need to be organized to do battle.
Most importantly, however, an effective personal code of conduct requires a significant amount of experience, education and intelligence. I don't think existentialist anarchy would suffice with our current system of educating the youth (both inside and outside the official curriculum).
