That's a fair point, but I'd like to clarify that I'm not calling socdem countries socialist. I think there's a difference between socdem policy and UBI in terms of their impacts on the economy, on the social contract, and on politics.

Oh ok... I think the main pt is that UBI and Socdem policies are similar in that, while not inherent in Socialism, they would be better executed under it, as a policy...

[–] zephyreks@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, I see your point. UBI is inherently inefficient in a capitalist system, and so the comparison isn't really fair.
