Primitive socialism was a concept put forward by Marx and Engels who argued that the basal condition of humanity in foraging communities was that of a socialist utopia. The narrative of a long history of egalitarian, altruistic hunter-gatherers is incredibly attractive to aspirational socialists. Dr. Dozier argue that this portrayal of human prehistory is romanticized and unsupported by archaeological and anthropological evidence. The myth of primitive socialism, however, has continued past Marx and Engles, due to its simple and attractive narrative consistent with the Noble Savage myth.
