It's not even primitive, just communism. The idea that peoples without civilization are held back or stuck in the past is a problematic worldview as well, and doesn't hold up well with the archeological evidence either.

edit: I strongly recommend the Book "The Dawn of Everything" by Graeber and Wengrow, on this very topic
