Socialism without UBI is nothing but job slavery. Millions of people are working like hell for their passions that don& #39;t pay & have to renounce & waste their lives on shitty jobs to put food on the table. But @caitoz gets UBI via Patreon & doesn& #39;t care. https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/09/08/universal-basic-income-automation-plutocracy-dystopia/">https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/09/0...

Fighting for workers& #39; rights only, without offering UBI, the classical left ignores the huge number of freelancers (like artists) struggling to make a living without employment, and also ignores the fact that most workers hate their job and are doing it just to make a living.

The right to live should come as universal human right & not in exchange for job slavery, regardless of how much you& #39;re paid to do the things you hate & therefore waste your life. UBI would also support efforts that are totally ignored by the economic system, like raising a child

We have the technology to automate most jobs and provide all people a generous UBI that would cover all the basic needs and give them the freedom to choose to work based on passion and not fear of having nothing to eat or a roof over their heads.

I believe UBI should be generous, billionaires shouldn& #39;t exist, & any UBI program must come on top of free healthcare & education. But those on the left who fight UBI don& #39;t say this. They hate UBI altogether. Which makes them haters of the right to live for every human being.
