@tribunemagazine This isn't the worst Left critique of #basicincome I've read. But a couple of things... 1. Universal Basic Services is just a re-badging of Left social democracy. Ergo, everyone should be like Scandinavia. Sure, that'd be great and requires enormous class power, etc, to achieve.
@tribunemagazine 2. UBS certainly doesn't transcend capitalism and isn't necessarily more radical than UBI.
