RE: Basic Income must be global or it will fail.

in #basicincome8 years ago (edited)

Libertarians in my opinion are making a critical error by ceding basic income to socialists.

I go even further, libertarians screaming "socialism" all the time missed the point. We have to redistribute somehow, because the current system is screwed to the bones. Only then a liberal society of free individuals is possible.
Don't believe that distribution is the problem? 1/3 of all US corporate wealth is in the hands of Apple, Microsoft, Google, Cisco and 2 or 3 others. One sixth of the earth’s non ocean surface belongs to the Queen of England!

Marx predicted states to automatically dissolve in the final phase. Imo that'd result exactly in what libertarians want, only that they also want to skip the path to get there. But fighting small changes doesn't help with reaching the bigger goal.
