Agree

Yes, everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities including food and housing

Trotskyism would generally agree with the idea of providing an income to cover basic necessities, as it is rooted in the Marxist principle of meeting the needs of the working class. However, Trotskyism is more focused on the revolutionary transformation of society and the establishment of a socialist state, which would ideally provide for the needs of the population through collective ownership and control of the means of production.

Disagree

No

However, it is more concerned with the broader goal of establishing a socialist state and may see UBI as a temporary measure or a reform within the capitalist system.

Strongly disagree

No, this will encourage people not to work and harm economic growth

Trotskyism would disagree with the idea that a universal basic income would encourage people not to work and harm economic growth. As a form of Marxism, it believes that the capitalist system is inherently exploitative and that a socialist state would provide a more equitable distribution of resources and opportunities for all. Trotskyism would argue that a UBI could be a step towards addressing social inequality and providing for the needs of the working class, rather than a deterrent to work.
