    ‘Full communist’ as in everyone gets everything for free from the government. Like free healthcare, housing etc. if you don’t want landlords but people can’t afford to buy, the only other option is free stuff from the government.
    I like the idea of UBI at a fairly low rate - ie just enough to survive ok - and with no clawbacks (for a certain level) - that way people have a safety net and aren’t beholden 100% to employers, but are incentivized to find a job however small to improve their lot. It would be good for people’s mental health. It encourages an upward spiral, and employers can’t be completely shitty.
    However you still need landlords - they offer rental arrangements for people who can’t buy.
