Nothing is easier than to give Christian asceticism a Socialist tinge. Has not Christianity declaimed against private property, against marriage, against the State? Has it not preached in the place of these, charity and poverty, celibacy and mortification of the flesh, monastic life and Mother Church? Christian Socialism is but the holy water with which the priest consecrates the heart-burnings of the aristocratPassage from the Communist Manifesto by Marx/Engels. The quote appears at the top of page 29:

It is counterintuitive but people actually work more often when a substantial UBI system is in place. This is one aspect of UBI that still f*cks with my mind. I still do not understand why it is this way even when economists explain it to me (doesn't make sense).
^ There was a study done in Manitoba in the 70s. With the very little amount of data recovered it hinted that people didn't stop working and that the they decided to work a little more. The problem with this though is that it was only about 30 percent of the population and they participants knew it was only temporary. It also showed that women tended to stop working though.
