jobless men don’t act the way advocates of “universal basic income” have always promised they would — becoming caregivers, volunteering in their communities or pursuing artistic passions.
No, no, no. See, in a communist society they would! Even when they can live without working, capitalism is still keeping them down! Reeeeee!

Communists live in their own weird little reality, completely divorced from actual observable reality.
I keep pointing out that Cambodia was a literal Socialist Utopia under Pol Pot. Killing 40% of the population was a small price to pay to banish the wrong-think.
The constant fear of being tortured to death and the brutal below-subsistence poverty was fine. At least they were real socialists.

In a full communist society they would choose to work. Nevermind that the alternative lands them kettle up in a mass grave
