"...patriarchy, hierarchy, and capitalism create, encourage,
maintain, and perpetuate addiction and dependency. Patriarchy and
hierarchy are based on domination and subordination, which result in
fear. This fear is expressed by the dominators through control and
violence, and in subordinated people through passivity and repression of
anger. The external conflict of hierarchy between dominants and
subordinates becomes internalized in individuals, creating personal
inner chaos, anxiety and duality. To quell the inner conflict people
resort to addictive substances and behavior."
