    Heavily regulated socialist democracy.

    Provide basic needs, food, clothing, healthcare, childcare, and education. Hell even a phone and Internet access.

    Emphasis on the basic.

    Allow for those who do not wish to, or are unable to work to live with all basic needs covered. Those who wish to work are incentivized to do so, with access to luxuries. Better housing, better clothing, better technology. Allow a place for the market, but don’t make people depend on the market.

    No reason to work a job you hate, no reason to employ people you don’t need. Everybody wins.

      This sounds fantastic, and will never work in the USA as long as there are classes of people who live above the rules and can influence society through policy and social media. If they smell any extra income, rights or services you receive, it’s like blood in the water and they will come from miles to get a piece of anything you own, exactly as they do now.
