I've always believed that everyone should be able to have, for free, a permanent private living space of at least 80sqft, a reasonably comfortable bed, access to a toilet and shower and associated toiletries, clothing suitable for the weather, water and food (even if only some flavorless nutritional paste), and access to medical care both as-needed and on a regular basis. if you have no ambition in life beyond sitting in that little room staring at the wall and eating soylent, then so be it, for a society to provide any less is immoral
I absolutely love your still very capitalist driven word choices and ideas. It really illustrates the depths the capitalist system influences. "Hey you're alive, but only deserve bare minimum treatment, an unreasonable amount of space and flavorless food paste! The good life is still only for those that aspire!"
I'm sure there are better solutions if we assume we can dismantle and rebuild all of society any way we want, along with the attitudes of those who inhabit it, but I think it's worthwhile to consider how current systems could be improved
I'm not talking about my personal vision of utopia, I'm talking about the bare minimum of a society that can begin to be considered just, even in a very hollow sense
