More likely the freeloaders would just spend their time doing activism to get even more hand outs from the producers.

  Given time, everyone would become producers in some form or fashion. There are studies regarding boredom and people would rather electrically shock themselves than sit still. If you had no job and money coming in, sure you would binge Netflix or do some other mindless activity, but how long can you keep that up? A week? A month? A year? Sooner or later you're going to get up and do something interesting. Humans have innate natural curiosity, like when you were a child, touching and noticing everything. Through excess work, that wonder is taken away because people must work to survive, but imagine an endless summer where you're tinkering in the garage, or writing code for a new project. Imagine the possibilities that people could come up with, new inventions and new ideas that eventually will propel the human race forward.
