 This fascinating pre-Incan society, high-up in the Andes, lacked social hierarchies
The Argentine settlement was based on decentralised networks and power sharing.

New evidence uncovered by archaeologists has shone a light on a pre-Incan society high up in the Andes, which did not have hierarchical social structures as is common today, and was instead built on power sharing and decentralised networks.

The settlement, known as Borgatta, was built at some point in the tenth century in what is now Argentina, growing to perhaps a few thousand people. It was abandoned in the mid-1400s when the Incas took control of the area.

Wasn’t very robust if it only contained at most a few thousand people who gave in to the Inca.  Definitely not worth emulating.
