hi Dmytri,
obviously I use another logic
my logic is
some of the people who advance UBI have a neoliberal agenda (including the neoliberal left as suggested by TD)
that doesn't prove that most of the UBI tradition and proponents have that agenda (that is in my view, certainly disproven)
now of course I am very interested in a bibliography that proves that some of the neoliberals who support UBI are involved in a plot, and I hope you can provide it, it would be very interesting for us all
but that would of course not prove your claim,
your claim to be true would have to prove that other propositions for a UBI do not exist, and a knowledge of the future that the majority of proponents would loose out in any conflict
this is also a prediction that you know in advance how the social struggle (or class struggle) would end, and in way that is discontinuous with the history of social advances in the past (where social advances where the result of long struggles, massive mobilizations, compromises, and the self-preservation logics of capital)
I'm not arguing of course that these advances were unilateral victories, I am only arguing that they were not total victories and plots for capital
you have a lot more to prove in that text, for example that a basic income is incompatible with a basic outcome ...
I don't mind speculation at all, but when speculation is couched in the language of absolute certainty, then it requires a lot of proof ..
as they say, extraordinary proof requires extraordinary evidence
but I welcome very much the documentation on the neoliberal side of the debate,
Michel
