Even before the capitalist system, there are those who already fawn hierarchy. The French revolution, for example, wasn’t an overnight success because there are still those from the peasant and working class who support the Royalists.
I didn’t say that people never support those that go against their own interests. I think your line of thinking seems to be veering towards a genetic view, one that is more based in eugenics, than a socialist view. That’s why I referenced Lukacs’ theory of false consciousness, Gramsci’s theory of hegemony is also quite useful here.
