| They weren't ruled by elders and chief, they just respected their decision more than others. |

Even back in the Hunters and Gatherers age there was most likely the Alpha Male who oversaw the others in executive decisions.

you do realize that communism has nothing to do with a political structure right there can be leaders as long as they are given the same lot as everyone else |

In a primitive communist society, all able bodied persons would have engaged in obtaining food [CHECK], and everyone would share in what was produced by hunting and gathering [CHECK]. There would be no private property other than articles of clothing and similar personal items[CHECK], because primitive society produced no surplus[CHECK]; what was produced was quickly consumed[CHECK]. The few things that existed for any length of time (tools, housing) were held communally[CHECK],[5] in Engels' view in association with matrilocal residence and matrilineal descent.[CHECK][6] There would have been no state.[CHECK]

@sat
copy and paste is not a viable argument
and your sources are pretty bad if you don't even understand what communism is
sure, the native americans were a superior society... but they were not communist as they were divided into classes and there is no exception to this
so

@Everyone going 'hurdurdur they had a chief who was a monarch'
Monarch - a sovereign head of state
Native Americans didn't have a central government.
The Chief was just and individual who was respected by the tribe. |
