Manco Capac
Where each worldview places it
"The initiate statesman Manco Capac, who flourished in the eleventh century AD". He founded the Inca dynasty and the religion of the sun, claimed descent from the sun god, brought a golden falcon (a Phoenix), and set up a communal system, the "socialized living" that Cooper reads as socialism[1]. His ancestor brought initiation rites from Central America[2].
