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.
UBI is a complicated question. In a near ideal world it would be the logical first step towards socialism, however in today's political climate, at least in western nations, even if it were implemented it would be as a compromise, and as such can only be a temporary solution, like the minimum wage was. At some point it's gonna get eroded in much the same way minimum wage is today.
It should be implemented alongside other sweeping changes, like a huge green new deal, nationalizing of key industries etc. but in reality if it ever gets implemented it's going to be the bare minimum to satisfy the criteria to call it that.
