Before there was money
so, so, so, so long ago.
There was merchants. Who sold stuffs for other stuffs that they could sell for more stuffs.
Neither of your options are correct.

If there was no money, the world would be a lot better in MY opinion.

There would be no common "ruler" that we subject to. Everyone would trade for what they need, and we'd have a lot more Trees to be used for more useful things other than this money currency.

we wouldn't be able to take w.e we wanted if capitalism died since most of the products you deem worth taking would stop being manufactured.

Also, what did the Natives do? They were in the exact same situation and like Allie described, they traded.
