In Yang's current bid for the 2020 presidential nomination, one of his main campaign goals would be to implement a universal basic income (UBI) for all American citizens between the ages of 18 to 64.

Not sure how he'd be able to pay for a UBI but if he has an actual sustainable way then cool.

The thing is, he's already announced that he's running as a Democrat and he's getting no mention from the mainstream media. So he basically has no chance unfortunately.

Nah, communism doesnt even recognize the concept of ownership lol.

I actually support a UBI but theres no way anyone openly advocating for it isnt gonna get reamed. Well see though. Trump getting elected did something to the time-stream so who knows whatll happen.

Yes it does. It's literally the workers owning the means of production.

I assume 1337's point is in "true communism" the state "withers away" so the post by Revnir is wrong...

And my point is that the state aint withering away...

No, my point is that communism does recognize ownership because that's what the whole issue is about - workers being able to reap the benefits of their own labor instead of having most of it taken by some elite (whether corporate execute or political elite). You can see it in action at different scales. For example, cooperatives where the workers own part of the company and get paid from the profits based on their share. This is as opposed to a regular company where the workers only get a wage disconnected from profits (though often getting paycuts in tough times).

I guess I'm speaking more towards Marxism in that he believed once the workers seized the means of production, this would mean classes dissolve and no single owner would exist, there would be no more need for state violence since its only a tool of the owners of the means of production.

not sure what you're speaking of

Haven't a lot of places, even smaller much wealthier places determined UBI doesn't work?

Though a lot of places also have more reliable social welfare programs in place...

I really think we need to take baby steps here.
