I hear this claim a fair bit, admittedly often in communist spaces.
It is said that any group of people bigger than 50-200 people “requires” hierarchy.
I’m not sure about that.
What do anarchists make of this?

If you view it from that angle, that would be the case for any political system. they are all just dust in the wind.
No but you said hierarchy would likely be cemented, which suggests other forms of political systems are more likely
some are harder to get rid of, if they get a foothold. it’s undeniable. it depends a lot on what they’re doing. for example, if they appoint guards very soon they’ll be around some time. if they don’t, you can, for example, just slaughter them within a few days to restore the region to equilibrium.
