It’s what Marx called primitive communism, where the productive forces were not developed enough for any excess. Everyone was forced to work in common and share everything (otherwise they could easily die from not being able to hunt one day). When the productive forces increased and there was some excess, classes could form because one class worked while the other took the excess of that labour
Yes, and to my mind “primitive communism” (not a huge fan of that term btw) is not the same thing as actual communism and in fact has very little to do with it other than superficial resemblence in terms of the social relations.
