I still see this as a redistribution of wealth, tax the rich and give to the poor which is socialist in nature, not saying that's bad thing just that it's nothing new. In Poland this sort of thing is already happening, e.g. parents get 500 PLN/month per child, it's not called UBI here though.
It’s absolutely and definitionally socialist in nature, but I don’t find the use of labeling to be especially helpful (and often harmful to shutdown discussion).
I’m interested in whether something tends to create a society that I think should exist for my children and their great-grandchildren (whom I’ll surely never meet).
Most of those things happen to have market-based outcomes in mind, but I’m open to good ideas that happen to be socialist, anarchist, communist, or any other broad label.
