Communist swine execute general with a mortar round

'primitive communism' was not without its problems by any means. When you live in nature, you have to deal with it. But the problems of nature are a very different thing altogether from being controlled by a small elite (protected and legitimized by a powerful State) that parasitically lives off your labor. Modern communism will be vastly superior to both primitive communism and capitalism in every way. The point is, it is PERFECTLY POSSIBLE for humans to live in a classless/stateless and moneyless society, because it was done before, and for a very extensive period of time. There is no reason to believe it cannot be done now, and such a society would be all the better considering 'primitive communism' lacked the technology, science, and resources we have today.

Perhaps you didn't read my post.

If I may reiterate, does it disturb your analysis at all that this "fact" of "primitive communism" is is not based on any actual evidence of early holocene life, but rather on the primitivist fantasies of a handful of 19th century scholars?

So there were markets, commodities, money, a State, and classes during the holocene? Is this what you are saying? If so, do you have evidence to support this? Because an objective look at the social relationships answers that question with an solid "no".

And this isn't just the claim of a handful of 19th century scholars - a prominent 20th century anthropologist agrees also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Mead

Class societies are estimated to have began sometime shortly after the Agricultural Revolution (roughly 10,000 years ago). This is only about 10% of our time on this planet (and if you include Archaic humans, it is less than that).
