I doubt that the result would be the loss of undesirable wage work. I don't think humans are wired that way. Although I find basic income compelling, and perhaps better than social welfare, I don't think the road to communism, or even postwork is so clear. People are traders by nature. They are also hoarders by nature, and they lead and follow by nature. Capitalism is only in part a plan. It is also a reflection of human behavior. IMO what is so interesting about looking at a post-Capitalist world, is that we are forced to try to find what is system, and what is expression.
