    Adam Smith isn’t nearly enough. Read Marx. Read Kropotkin .

    You can’t achieve ubi. Ever. Think about this for just 2 seconds. There’s no pathway to it. You can’t vote this shit in.

      Capital might allow UBI below subsistence, and this very well could happen to stave off crisis. It just can’t be high enough that people aren’t incentivized to sell their labor power (be a wage-slave). This is arguably what minimum wage and tax credits already are.
