In the history of human hierarchies, I think Valve will be neither new nor notable.

Not sure I get you. Valve doesn't have to be either of those things.

Work democracy and self-organization are old ideas. They go back at least to late 19th century anarchists. At that time they were so far out that only utopians and revolutionaries took them seriously. That we now plausibly discuss them is already notable in the history of human hierarchies.
