The hybrid approach creates bureaucracy.
a) Help people in struggle.
b) But only those who are really in struggle, so we have to put a rule to that.
c) People found a loophole to the rule, so we have to put another rule in place.
d) Some of the people we thought were in struggle, aren't really struggling, they just pretend. We need another rule for that.
And so on. I still believe it can be done, and that eventually it will be balanced out. Also, I don't think that there are many people out there that try to abuse the system on purpose. I read quite a few articles stating the contrary. There also was a great incentive in Marienburg in Austria I think, where they put people into work - everyone who could went to work, even though they did not receive too much extra on what they were getting.
I don't think that everyone wants to be an artist. I think many people would be happy to work the field or the garden in the morning, and write some articles in the afternoon. Or paint. Or make music.
That is in danger, though. The erosion of values within the current system, which destroys community and favors solitary, will lead more and more towards an anti-social society. Neo-Liberalism didn't win when it got crazy with privatization - but it is still winning the long race.
