i'd imagine you would recieve tokens on top of guarunteed food, housing, utilities, and transport correct? and the tokens "value" would continue to rise as society reaches post-scarcity FALGC? basically a daily consumer good ration that eventually becomes just a relic as the average person just loses the desire for obsessive consumerism once their needs are fully met
Sure, whether or not all those things are guaranteed of course depends on the specific implementation but ideally the collective production of society would be able to provide those guaranteed rights. In Paul Cockshott's model, labor tokens would expire after, say, several years in order to prevent severe fluctuations in the balance of production and consumption due to saving and then spending all at once. But yes, while one labor voucher would still continue to represent the same amount of labor time, as the general productivity of society increases due to automation, over time one labor voucher would be "worth" more, in that one would be able to redeem it for more stuff.
