I wasn't aware there are ao many other options? Could you reference some?
I guess you could grow and make everything yourself, buy that doesn't seem like an economic system.
I'm actually not sure how pay was distributed in feudalism, so that could theoretically be another way, but I doubt it is.
Something like UBI would be the latter option.
Maybe if you had capitalism at a macro level, but communism at a micro level. Each town internally worked like communism, but interacted with others in a capitalist fashion. But even there, there will be people in the town distributing pay (or goods and services directly) without you having control over it. You might be able to be especially charismatic, or threaten a revolt, but I don't think those are things people can typically do.
