    There are many ways such systems can be implemented. I am saying I do not trust a representative democracy to implement it well and think it is a risky gamble that could lead to a dystopian society longterm.

    It is a deeply capitalist solution to capitalist problems, and can easily be tricked - through inflation / strings attached / etc. the "redistribution" can be turned into naught or distorted into servitude. I believe in worker coops, not government reliance.

    Similar corruption & such issues in the other spheres you mention.

    Don't get me wrong, these things are still great and I would 10/10 times support a progressive over most other viable options. As I would UBI, **as I have stated**.

    But it is a risky gamble, same as modern education has a hand in the hierarchical brainwashing of all humans.
