The topic of this thread is a UBI, which is (1) just another temporary band-aid to keep the workers from eating the rich or (2) an example of the power of government to regulate the excesses of capitalism and fix the imbalance of income caused by manipulation of tax laws.

I guess you could interpret it either way.

I think it is pretty unlikely that any revolution will occur as long as the general population is fairly well fed. People usually start looting stores if the stores contain a lot of stuff they don't already have. The closest thing we have to a movement now is BLM, which would be pretty much deflated if the cops just stopped killing Black men for no reason.
