I'm really glad and appreciate you took my post in the spirit I meant it, as I absolutely get the premise behind it. I just don't fully subscribe to your initial post, but really I appreciate your understanding. For full disclosure, I dream of Star Trek Space Socialism (post-scarcity), basically a world where yes, society ensures a minimum standard of living, but it's a pretty okay standard of living. A home with 4 walls + a roof + hot water, access to information, food, and no need to worry that this safety net gets removed. I've been poor as hell in the US (lived on eggs and rice in creative ways for many years), I've been rich as an oligarch in Eastern Europe, but my lowest point defined what I really wanted/needed, and I want this for everyone. I want a world where you just don't have to worry about the basics of life and instead focus just on what you want to. And it's a pretty good base-level living. I grew the most when I didn't need to worry about the basics, and I ready thousands of stories of the same, so I can't help but think this is the way to get society in a good spot. There will be freeloaders, sure, but I don't think it's statistically more than the current system enables. :)
