A world with basic income is one of less poverty and higher taxes, not utopia or collapse.

Radical is, by definition, a pejorative for any significant distance/divergence from the status quo. If you don’t think the status quo is good, then radical is not bad.

I have no problem with calling (U)BI a radical departure, because our current labor system is not good.
