Maybe there would be those things in certain countries now, if the uneducated working class focused intently on voting for parties calling for those things instead of being distracted by political forces that wish to blame immigration for their problems. If I were a lower-income person, I would much rather live on basic income (and have the time to seek training and employment for better prospects) while letting gastarbeiter do all the shit work, than to have to do the shit work myself.
