I disagree with the first couple facets of the new system definitions: "Every single adult member receives a weekly payment from the state, which is enough to live comfortably on. The only condition is citizenship and/or residency." - This is a government. "You get the basic income whether or not you’re employed, any wages you earn are additional." - This is welfare. "The welfare bureaucracy is largely dismantled. No means testing, no signing on, no bullying young people into stacking shelves for free, no separate state pension." - So a government run welfare program to replace the welfare bureaucracy. Doesn't sound to radical, in fact, it sounds the same. "The system would be harder to cheat when there’s only a single category of claimant, with no extraordinary allowances." - Some one can always cheat the system, and there will always be extraordinary allowances because there are people in the system whose desire is for those things. Opportunism has always been a part of evolution. Sure we don't "need" it
