I like classism, assuming it includes local governments.

What does that mean, as in private property rights?

I believe in rights and I believe in free markets. I do not believe in equality. I believe that you should have the freedom to do what you want to do. I do not want to put you in jail.

Justice should be objective and universal from God Himself, from his ruling. Without God, things can become too relative and subjective. The term of equality has been co-op and weaponized by the radical left to mean communism which is what I'm really against. They're always changing the definition to words. If you want a big house, you got to work hard to get it. But some have a lot and some have a little. Equality of opportunities can be good but welfare has damaged African Americans in the USA in the 1900's to ruin the roaring not 1920's but the roaring 1890's.

That's 100% true @baah :-) And we'll never get rid of all hierarchies; even in socialism there are still leaders and followers, that's just how we tick. But class, that is hierarchy grounded on material wealth with large gaps between them, that we can solve. We'll have to.

The reality, UBI has been tried, tested in numerous communities.

I know.

You seem to think that ubi hasn't been tried, hasn't been studied for over half a century.

No, I don't.

It doesn't matter, because we aren't part of such a reality.

That's obvious.

It seems, getting paid for making machines doesn't cut it

Of course not.

...fuck private property...

Indeed.

Workers do more than just "make machines". I really don't know what you're trying to say; you make no sense at all. It's not so hard a point this post makes: as long as the means of production, whatever they may be, are in the hands of a few individuals, the underlying problems that caused the circumstances under which a UBI seems like a reasonable solution will not be solved and the gap between rich and poor will grow.
