I think the answer to that depends on whether or not you think the current economies of the US/Canada/Europe/Scandinavia are capitalist or not (I do, and am myself a capitalist). If so, then yes it is. We already tax income for redistribution programs - UBI is just a very large, very even redistribution programs. With UBI, the economy would still based on capitalism, using money, private ownership of capital and property, and using all those things to create profits (which would then be taxed). People will develop marketable skills to earn more money (which would be taxed). All this is the same as it is now.
