No, it's not. No, it won't. I do love that you try and link a failed communist country with progressive socialist ideas. Super bad faith posting on your part. Congrats.
UBI is the future, and it already works in the limited forms we currently have in place, but as I said it will take a lot more to get in solidly in place for an entire country. And politicians will be the biggest hurdle. Ones who lie, and claim, for instance, that since it didn't work in the USSR it can't work anywhere. We'll see lots of lies like that.
