> Nothing is really at no cost. It is paid for with tax money or directly. > The author is not specifying "for those who could not otherwise afford it", but describing it as at no cost for everyone. The author never specified whether or how things are paid for, but for me personally I am assuming tax money. He also leaves open whether luxury goods/foods are still paid for. > Show me that country or even that city please. Show me the social experiment, that tries to get people to work without pay, as long as they have access to "all the things we need in our daily lives". As far as I know, it has never been done. Why are you asking me to show you something I never claimed existed? I claimed there's places with social security (housing, food) and free public transport (Luxembourg for instance). > So that's why I call it pure fiction. Anything that doesn't exist yet is fiction. It seems that you both misunderstood the article and my comment, then tried to maneuver me into a position where I would defend something nobody ever claimed. To be fair, the author leaves a lot of things unexplained, so one's imagination is going to fill in the gaps. Personally I imagined a city where basic necessities are provided for free, but where you have to pay for anything that is a cut above. Greatly expanded social security essentially.
