Reply To: Left and Right Unite! – For the UBI Fight!
At the end of the day, if we base UBI on capital based monetary values (and in the social totality [both in states, and between them]) we will see it through money. It is capital over labour, and setting a new baseline of basic income/ or basic poverty.
I finally gave up on any hope of change- the capital system is in ruins and it won’t reform. It will hire cheap and sell big. It has no future-
It is the apex predator, and it follows master/slave, lord/serf, and capital/labour power relations. It is old,it is fattened, and it seems enduring! It can change itself to survive- yet it is the same power over.
We need change, but, the voters sleep: putting their vote on the herd that will enslave, or offer their brand of protection.
UBI… it is a beef intervention- a payment to be dormant- a market forgotten!
In the developing world, or developed- it supports the mart- even poverty at UBI level is put to use.
I might rant. But I have reached my tether, and the tether stings.
We are social beings, no more hierarchy in wealth, in society. No to the apex predator.
I am sick of the divide, the fighting and the wealth versus poverty- the division is constructed… and can be reconstructed.
The ubi narrative circulates, but can human economics circulate too, it seems not.
The best option we have is a socialist economy- but it seems so far.
Ubi can feed- a basic nutrient- but it is not a full meal: it is a level above starvation- and prevents it. What a ball to throw.
