You were two steps away from discovering libertarian socialism/democratic confederalism and then you crawled backwards.

The fact that there are people at the bottom isn’t the fault of some political system

If your political system is based on hierarchy, there will always be someone at the bottom of said hierarchy. It's the logical consequence.

and especially isn’t the fault of capitalism, it’s the fault of human nature.

This is literally capitalist propaganda. Humans are a social specie, by nature they seek cooperation, not competition.

There will always be hierarchy with complex, large scale production. Management and administration are necessary roles in production. It is better to make said hierarchy work for the people through the abolition of classes, and democratization.

Riiight, a tried and true political/economic system which is sure to work perfectly as soon as it's tried, just like communism.

If your political system is based on hierarchy

If you're human, your political system will involve hierarchy as soon as more than about a dozen individuals are involved.

This is literally capitalist propaganda

Suuure... it's capitalist propaganda to acknowledge that all mammals act in ways that are hierarchical and unfair.
