Are you referring to some pre-capitalism economic systems?

Yes. The person with the hammer and sickle handle, who moderates Leftypedia, thinks we should retvrn to a caste system. You nailed it. Your question is definitely in good faith.

Communism is not pre-capitalistic.

Wow. I didn't know that. I just, uh, you're telling me now for the first time. I'm actually sad to hear that. I am sad to hear that. Thank you very much.

But... you sarcastically implied the answer to the question "what pre-capitalistic system are you referring to" is communism. I can't get a read on you unless you're just very confused, bro.

The answer to the question is, "None," because it's a stupid question.

It's like if somebody said they hate cars, and we can do without them. Then some stupid asshole said, "I see. Should we return to the horse and buggy? Perhaps the rickshaw? Chariots, perhaps? Maybe a world where kings are carried on a throne upon the shoulders of slaves? Or maybe just piggyback rides? Kindly ignore the existence of trains and bicycles. Thanks!"

I reject the premise of the question, because the question isn't asked in good faith, and is fucking stupid.

As you wish -- and I agree with you -- but you must admit that sarcastically implying the answer is communism isn't conducive to your position.

Well, kudos to your infinite patience for stupid dicks JusT asKINg QUesTioNs. Mine ran out ages ago. So now I'm just mean about it.

We're all there sometimes. Best of luck, internet stranger.

I don't know where you're getting all that information, because I'm on mobile and I don't see any of that.

We're not looking to return to anything, we're hoping to finally win the fight against greedy psychopaths
