Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Yeah, that's not socialism. That's the Right's wet dream.

So all this insulting me in your other post isn't because you actually want UBI, but because you think it's the only thing Americans are stupid enough to vote for?

Since I'm trying to go about this educated, let's make sure. We're in agreement that UBI is objectively worse than universal welfare, right? So we're just talking about whether UBI is the best conservative shit that uneducated Americans are willing to buy?

I'd be willing to buy that. But I still need to know how to resolve the issue of impoverished leftists being made poorer. I'm assuming the plan you're in love with (or just don't hate) isn't Yang's stupid plan. So what's YOUR plan? Would you make it work without gutting welfare?
