I think the hunter gatherer concept works when you have much less people on the planet then we have now.
I don't think it's feasible to try and institute basically secular small groups of people working in tandem for the common good.
No one needs others now for the "common good". We just need ourselves as we try to reach mostly unobtainable goals and buy the next new car.
There are so many humans now that all governments are struggling to with how to govern. Governments have so many people under them that they can never please them all and the assumption that the majority is happy with how they govern is an illusion.
Are we advanced? Medically, sanitation, scientifically etc. we are advanced for our time. In 100 years we will be seen as backward or cavemen.
The more people there are on the planet the less advanced we will become at human to human interaction.
