This sentence jumped out at me: "A universal basic income, combined with a job guarantee and other social programs, could make participation in the labor force truly voluntary."
See one of the ultimate goals there? It's basically "If you don't WANT to work, then you shouldn't have to." But this isn't a statement fighting against an economic/political system at all. Your own body mandates you feed it, clothe it, and shelter it because of a self-survival instinct. He basically is saying "Reality sucks. I want a new one." He is a child, and he wants anyone to remain a child if they so choose, and let the grown-ups take care of them until the day they die. What the child wants is more important than what the adults want, need, or are even capable of providing. The spoiled brat needs to be taken to the woodshed and be told to grow up and live in the reality that exists.
