npub15th6y0m8c79aq5qg2arvpw955jr4c5cvvvvkrxz70tnh4n282dzq2a6nvx (npub15th…6nvx) It is not a movement of the goal post. I always had in mind a UBI that provided enough, so that the worker could exit the labor market.
I don't see how denying luxury items to people is coercive in the same sense because there is no threat of death. It doesn't carry the same moral force in that context.
Capitalists retaining control in such a system is a problem, but that is a separate argument. My point is that consent v. coercion misframes the issue of capitalism
