- TaylorAlexander 8y agoUBI represents a continuation of capitalism where the machinery of our world is still under elite control. I’d rather see a candidate that will provide seed funding for cooperatives. Way more liberatory than cash handouts from our rulers.
- krapp 8y agoIsn't seed funding for cooperatives also basically a cash handout from our rulers?
- TaylorAlexander 8y agoYes, though much more directed than UBI. Credit Unions are well positioned to provide loans for coops. The government could provide some backing for those loans to stimulate growth. That’s way, way less intervention than a UBI.
