The problem with communism was that people were locked-out of the decisions. They had no idea what's going on. The reason for that was not that the leadership imposed it. It worked out that way, because the government made a promise to the common people: "We will take care of your needs, you just be as productive as you can. You will be happy, we will take care for you". So the people did. The government gave bread to the masses and the masses didn't care about much else. The ones who cared about more were deemed to be dangerous to the communist society and were killed. How is the promise made by basic income proponents different that the communist promise?
