Roger Lewis This is my comment to Thomas Who I stress I really do like and find many of his theories incredibly compelling. I think Thomas is talking about Musks vision whereas Paine in Rights of Man was concerned with the loss of possibilities of self-provisioning due to the enclosures of the common land and the current robotisation of many manual tasks is another sort of technological enclosure of the industrial commons.

Not the most considered exposition on the subject, we all need to Rant now and again and let off steam. Here is a dialogue from the prospect of Basic Income and Universal citizens income from the perspective of how money works in an economy and is created. There are arguments even amongst advocates of a Basic Income/Citizens income as to whether it should be universal or come from the standpoint of a Job Guarantee.

In an Urban society, it is a little more difficult to have Land rights-based solution, it is also true that Minicom the only large-scale trial of such a system was a success in terms of Health both Mental and physical in the area of Manitoba it was trialled.

Thomas Paine argued for a Citizens Income he understood that the migration from the Land to the cities which was forced ( see Land Clearances for details) involved people giving up the Ability to be self-sufficient.
I am fortunate to live in Rural Sweden and to have a degree of Self Sufficiency, that would be harder in a Swedish City or Town although people here like in Germany do have small holdings in out of town communities which are like scaled up Allotments.

‘The first to develop the idea of a social insurance was Marquis de Condorcet (1743–1794). After playing a prominent role in the French Revolution, he was imprisoned and sentenced to death. While in prison, he wrote the Esquisse d’un tableau historique des progrès de l’esprit humain (published posthumously by his widow in 1795), whose last chapter described his vision of a social insurance and how it could reduce inequality, insecurity and poverty. Condorcet mentioned, very briefly, the idea of a benefit to all children old enough to start working by themselves and to start up a family of their own. He is not known to have said or written anything else on this proposal, but his close friend and fellow member of the Convention Thomas Paine (1737–1809) developed the idea much further, a couple of years after Condorcet’s death.’

Scandinavian Culture is not for everyone, I miss parts of Pub Culture and Workingman’s club culture in the UK, but I do not miss the UK and its many social problems which are a lot to do with the huge levels of Inequality, baked into the Cake of the system of Political Economy There. A lot of the ”Ol Bollocks Gobshite crap** in Thomas’ Rant here sure plays well to the Gallery but I have to say does not chime with my experience of Sweden, Having lived here for 8 years and been visiting regularly since 2005. It has got worse in that time mainly due to trying to be more like the UK of Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair, I think things will change here for the better rather easier than they will in Ireland or the Uk, simply because Swedish Democracy is actually rather more functional , still the Oligarchy Globalist system plays here but culturally Swedes and Scandinavians do the Democracy *Thing* rather better, it has been around rather longer, Google **THING` political assembly.
