I’m not sure that such a situation applies? IMO the horseshoe was intended to compare large scale negative extremes and such small-scale tribal groups don’t really fit the idea. The point is that the extremes are more similar to each other than the middle, not that a tribal council that favored communist features in governance should be considered an extreme.
How do radical ideologies (as percieved by the current status quo) that are non-authoritarian fit in then.
Say some indigenous groups which had social systems similar to what westerners might call anarcho-communism.
