  • Would this communism have money? If so, what’s the purpose of the money?

    If people are choosing to buy things, that’s a free market and it’s not communism. If people are forced to buy specific things, it’s not really buying.

    If people are free to buy certain things but new people aren’t allowed to enter the market with new products, that’s just worse than capitalism.


  • Yes I’m in favor of UBI.

    I think capitalism would survive just fine with UBI.

    I don’t think prices would automatically cancel out the money, because prices are still subject to competition.

    As for whether people would still work after their basic needs are met, obviously. The evidence is people who are beyond subsistence and still seeking more money.
