   Well, when all relevant contexts from Engels "On Authority" are removed, it will look irrational. Engels was arguing against both the blind acceptance and wholesale rejection of authority, the former because it can lead to oppression and abuses of power, and the latter because in many cases, authority arises naturally out of the division of labor and specialization of tasks, and without some form of authority, social organization and progress would be impossible.
