Commune 2000AD

I first heard of the idea of  a citizens income when I was a teenager, reading Commune 2000AD by Mack Reynolds. Admittedly I found the idea of sexual liberation far more compelling at the time than the idea of a basic income for all citizens and it wasn't something that had any great impact on me. It wasn't till decades later that a friend suggested that it was an answer to the many issues surrounding the welfare system that it started to get some traction in my thick skull. Then one day the penny dropped and I realised that it could be a real solution that could chime with people from all across the political spectrum.

I'm setting up this blog so that I can discuss the benefits of Basic Income and support the European Citizens' Initiative for an Unconditional Basic Income
 
The European Citizens' Initiative for an Unconditional Basic Income petition is happening right now and if we can get a million signatures, then we can put Basic Income firmly into the political arena and maybe come a little closer to making it happen. If we demand it, then maybe we can make it a reality
