Just finished "Bullshit Jobs" and it ends with advocating for a UBI, explicitly as a plausible first step towards fixing/dismantling capitalism.
Its a pretty solid argument, as long as you put the caveats of the goal to be to expand the benefits of society universally, not to consolidate the welfare state and reduce cost.
There are a lot of issues and technical details that one can imagine, and ultimately if the goal is to liberate all humans and save the world from capitalism, further steps would have to be taken. But a UBI does seem like a reasonable first step.
Though I guess the only would world the capitalist class would ever let a UBI happen is the world where we force them to, since even the $2000 one time payment basically is never going to happen.
So UBI as a advocating tool or a rhetorical device, but I don't think it should be a goal in of itself. A UBI is the compromise position and leaves the Capital class in place. Something closer to Universal Equal Payments (working title) should be the goal.
Paul Mason's Postcapitalism made similar arguments by supporting a UBI tied into the early Green New Deals. By using UBI to make bullshit jobs obsolete it would remove some of the individual economic hurdles that force people to be car commuters. It's kind of funny in a dark kind of way, but the pandemic and lockdowns were the perfect opportunity to implement UBI and scale back our consumerist carbon society, and instead we let the media amplify a handful of Dark Money backed anti-lockdown, anti-mask events.
