capitalism is when a small amount of people own the means of production.

Wrong. That would be oligarchy. But i can tell that you are confused since you present UBI as capitalism without even realizing it.

Why the hell do you immediately think of slavery? You don’t force people to do anything. If you need work done, you pay people to do it. Obviously.

So just capitalism then. But with extra steps.

And since workers have a guaranteed income to fall back upon, employers have no choice but to pay a fair wage. That’s the entire point.

No…? The ones that work to produce would control the supply and the prices would reflect it. Kind of like that other system that starts with c.

Seriously, if you want to understand UBI, there are whole studies available online for your reading pleasure. There are dozens of books on the subject.

I’ve read plenty of articles about it, not sold on it. Was curious if anyone had any way to sell it. You just present it as capitalism, which i suppose is one way to do it. Though I would argue that people would stop doing necessary jobs, since they no longer need to work.

I’m all for testing 6 hour work days.

But the fantasy of universal income is too farfetched. Who will produce the food? Are we to collectively agree that we take turns on producing the food? I sure as hell don’t want that, and there lies the core issue. How do you force people to do things that they don’t want to do?

Lol, these downvotes. Explain the system instead. How do you propose to force people?

Uhm. Most animals live by the grace of chance and circumstance. Barely getting enough to sustain life.

I think I understand what you’re trying to say, but you can’t seriously think that pre-industrial age people were sitting around and doing nothing? Post-industrial age came with an explosion of people to match the new amount of resources. If we don’t produce the resources then people die.

Do you want a simpler life or an easier life? Those are two very different things.

Nonsense. They are cowards that doesn’t trade their lifes for a paycheck. In the us you are legally allowed to have your firearm at a protest. Start using them.

Much better that the government has the guns?

I think you’ll find that it’s a whole lot easier to find people willing to kill for a paycheck, rather than dying for one.

Meaning of course, bring guns to protests to show that you have them. Those chicken shits wont start shooting if they are at risk of dying themselves.

Hear, fucking hear.

That, or when a horse girl says she’s in pain. There is never any unfounded whinge from horse girl.

Legitimately can’t tell if you’re joking or if you are this much of a douche.

If you’re actually asking, no. You got corrected and you learned something. Take that for what you will.

No, i guess its just the straight people, right?

What you described is a female way of communicating. By inference and mind magic.

Nope, but i’m friends with quite a few.

Straight people

Women.

You can definitely pretend that is what will happen.

Read about the great leap forward if you will.

If you break capitalism, all of the people that exist because of capitalism will die. Imagine flipping the world production back to before 1850. There would be Billions that die.

Kinda like watermelons and chicken?

Nice non-equivalent there buddy.

People confused that construction workers does most of their work when you are asleep.

“How does the bread get made fresh every morning? Magic, i tell you.”

No, as in they dont have to maintain their outdoor cat.

I get to do that instead. Oh joy for me.

No, they just come and shit in my yard instead.

The neighbours cats have made it their goal to shit in our vegetable garden and burying the little turd there. I dislike them as much as people that dont pick up after their dogs.
