Political theory points towards communism being the best and most likely outcome.

Things like UBI are going to be necessary soon due to AI.

Now strip the 1% of their wealth. What does that sound like?

I can’t imagine you would want your house owned by anyone other than you. I certainly wouldn’t. The downsides are just bigger than the upsides.

what does that sound like?

Just saying UBI and stealing money from people (or “stripping their wealth” does not make communism? And I dont see how that could ever go well 😂.

I already live in a house I don't own.

The real question is, would I prefer not to pay far out the ass to live here?

What are the downsides to living in affordable government accommodation, as opposed to paying for the house over thirty years, and giving the bank a small fortune in interest?

"UBI and stripping 1% isn't communism"

Sorry, I forgot that redistributing the wealth from the 1% and providing everyone with equal opportunity is not the entire premise of communism. You're right, my bad.

"I don't see how that could ever go over well"

Yes.. That's the idea..
