You want to thwart communism using UBI? That's like thwarting floodwater by calling your basement a swimming pool.

- eli_gottlieb 10y agoWell, we could bring about communism using UBI. Could be great!
- ouid 10y agoIf the system is dynamic, then there's no reason to expect that it doesn't somehow oscillate between extremes. If income inequality and unemployment gets too great, maybe there's a phase transition. In that case, a little bit of communism could help alleviate the pressure. Regardless of whether you believe it could actually work, it certainly means that it's not absurd to consider, at least not for the reasons you've stated.
