a) Because their goal was to not get eaten by sabretooth tigers and cave bears... Once we became the dominant predator (for the most part) we stopped worrying about other animals killing is, and started killing each other.
b) I'm pretty sure they would have had some chieftain or strongest warrior or shaman or some shit
c) So the goal of communism is to de-evolve society? Cool, thats appealing...
3. Ever heard of racism? What if your black, and your "commune" is 95% white, and they all get together and decide they just get to take your shit? Real equal there, huh?
And since when does state = dictator?
1. Only morons thought that they would skip straight ahead into communism. The plan was always abolish capitalism and establish socialism first. Corruption due to other factors prevented any real attempt at completing the transition.

A) You view of pre-civilisation society is inaccurate. I'd advise you read a few well sourced history books.
B) There were always dominant leader-type figures, but not a true leader. Think alpha male gorilla not president of the tribe. It doesn't constitute a state.
C) I never said it would be appealing. And they see it as liberating society from the oppressive hierarchies and exploitation.
