You had for example the model of pirate ships, which were definitely hierarchical in that they had captains…but the captains were elected by the crew. If the crew didn’t like the job the captain was doing, they’d depose him and elect a different captain.
Contrast with for example British naval vessels, which also had captains, but the crew had no say over the captain or how he managed the ship and crew.

@RD4Anarchy If the crew of a British naval vessel wanted to depose the captain, they didn’t have any way to do it other than mutiny, which was costly.
Pirate ships were civilized and egalitarian by comparison, but they still had hierarchies.
