    If you're not in favour of universal and unconditional:

    🍍 Housing
    🍍 Drinkable water
    🍍 Food
    🍍 Medical care
    🍍 Income

    If it's your considered belief that some people literally deserve to die of starvation or exposure or something because they aren't good enough at *making money*:

    You're a monster, please un-follow me

      "But people don't NEED money!"

      Yes, they do

      Beyond having basic necessities met, everyone deserves the dignity afforded by the ability and autonomy to pursue their own goals and projects

      This means money

      Maybe you can imagine some world without moneyβ€”fine, whatever

      Just replace "money" with whatever would go in the slot for the thing that affords people the ability to get stuff done on their own terms in your fantasy
