A rhetorical move unlikely to be productive. I am (you be sure) deeply familiar with the arguments.

There are tons of reasons to be against capital punishment regardless of the social order.

There are good practical reasons not to be a principled abolitionist in our society. Future societues will do what they choose. You may be right that a society civilized enough to have the death penalty wouldn't have one. I wouldn't care to write the law on this matter for a just social order even if I couldn't, which I can't. I oppose the death penalty in our society. What more do you want?
