   A society where work is shared equitably can provide well-being surpassing that of today's middle classes.

     Agreed. That's why UBI, while a useful tool for achieving proletariat liberation, isn't a complete solution.

     3/5 While UBI could be part of the solution, broader systemic changes are needed, such as transitioning towards collective ownership of resources and production, where the benefits of automation and technological advancements are shared among all members of society.

     @Radical_EgoCom @koteisaev UBI is not stable given that prices can change and capitalists can lobby to change laws.

     @Radical_EgoCom If everyone can afford to eat meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, and all these necessary nutrients in balanced and tasty diet. Or have time for gym and other activities to stay healthy.
     Single problem with all that is that myth the middle class have plenty of time to spend with hobbies, family and friends. They work, work and work.
     Plus, there are people who have special desires or hobbies, that may require more space or time than "default settings". It all not so simple.

     1/5 Instead of aiming for a luxury lifestyle for all, a Libertarian Communist society should instead prioritize equitable distribution of resources to ensure basic needs are met for everyone, which would include access to food, shelter, healthcare, education, and other necessities, rather than extravagant luxuries like private jets.

     2/5 Constant work is not necessary for a good living standard. There needs to be a reevaluation of work and productivity, where labor is more fulfilling, automated, where possible, and where individuals have more leisure time for personal pursuits.

     @Radical_EgoCom I see a paradoxes here. First, it is impossible to provide luxury lifestyle for everyone (a-la billionaires). Imagine how 8 billion people would have a private jet each? it is even more gag than a fantasy.
     And, second, so called "middle class" is just a good living conditions when every family have enough live space to provide a private room for every of their children, for example.
     It all depends a lot on actual aspects of lifestyle provided via UBI. 🧵
