That Jesus Christ can transform the nature of individual people such that they no more have fear, but love everyone.
Love is characterized by the behavioral rule "all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them," building others up at your expense.
Fear is characterized by the behavioral rule of building yourself up at others' expense.

It's simply a reflection of status in society, which is reflected in business and government. Like it or not, people will always find a way to rule over the common man.  Free market anarchy appeals to the former, while anarcho-socialism is a appeals to the latter. Both are utopian, and both are bullshit.

I got the idea from observing people acting to preserve or increase their security in the face of pain and apparent scarcity of resources, resulting in hierarchy.  I noted that among those who love each other, there is no hierarchy.
There are hierarchies everywhere: government, business, culture, industry, academia, media, and art. There are even hierarchies in religious circles -- look at the Pope. There is no such thing as a collective with no hierarchy, nor can there be a world with no leadership. Whether people love each other or not, there will always be others that will rise to higher levels of power for one reason or another.
