Posing a counter example *based upon the very logic of the argument in question* is not a "straw man" fallacy. Such examples are used to probe into just how committed the person behind said argument is to the logic/values/etc. of what they're saying.

And you're so insistent that power and discourse about hierarchies (especially defense of them) can't be found in "conservative philosophy" - and I just have to ask *really*? Nothing of the sort can be found in Burke, Hume, Carlyle, Strauss?

Is it possible that, not only have you not read your opponents*, you haven't even read those whose tradition you claim to belong in?

*In Marx the "oppressor" is, if such a simplistic category can go by unchallenged, *capital*.
