Communism intends a society where money and a class system are abolished and a new society is built.
UBI supposes a society where capitalism still exists – But you get an allowance for existing and can take on a job as an option to get more money for said capitalism.
Neither could happen in reality without some billionaires being slaughtered, but the latter has a far less lofty goal, in that it doesn’t seek to rebuild society in an entirely new paradigm, only to make the “work or starve” paradigm of Capitalism less pressing.
UBI is not Communism. Not even close.
In a matter of fact, they are incompatible.
Well that could use an explaination
