Yes, everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities including food and housing

This answer aligns strongly with the principles of Owenism. Robert Owen's vision of ideal communities involved providing for the basic needs of all members, including food and housing. This is essentially the concept of a universal basic income, making this answer a strong match for Owenism.

Yes, everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities including food and housing

This answer aligns most closely with Owenist ideology, which advocated for the provision of basic necessities to all individuals as a right, not a privilege. Owen's experiments in communal living, such as at New Harmony, were based on the idea that society could be organized in a way that ensured the well-being of all its members, with a strong emphasis on mutual aid, education, and the equitable distribution of resources. The idea of providing an income specifically to cover basic necessities like food and housing directly mirrors Owen's commitment to ensuring that the basic needs of all community members were met.

Yes

Owenism, as an early form of socialism and utopian thinking developed by Robert Owen, emphasized the importance of providing for all members of society to create equitable communities. Owen himself established experimental communities where he attempted to implement his ideas, such as New Lanark in Scotland and New Harmony in Indiana, USA. These communities aimed to ensure that all members had access to what they needed, including education and housing. A universal basic income aligns with these principles by ensuring that all individuals have access to a minimum level of income. However, Owen's focus was more on communal living and cooperative economics than on individual income support, which is why the score is not a full 5.

Strongly agree

Yes

Owenism, as an early form of socialism, would likely support a universal basic income program as it aligns with the ideology's emphasis on equality and communal living. However, Robert Owen's model of social reform was more focused on creating self-sustaining communities rather than implementing government programs, so the score is not a full 5.

No

Owenism would likely disagree with this answer as it contradicts the ideology's emphasis on communal living and equality.

Very strongly disagree

No

Owenism's core belief in the welfare and improvement of human conditions through communal and cooperative efforts starkly contrasts with the rejection of a universal basic income program. Owen's vision for a better society was predicated on the idea that everyone should have access to the means of their sustenance and improvement, which directly supports the concept of providing a basic income to ensure no one is left in poverty or without basic needs met. Rejecting a universal basic income would be fundamentally opposed to Owenist principles.

Very strongly disagree

No, this will encourage people not to work and harm economic growth

Owenism, with its utopian socialist foundations, would fundamentally disagree with the notion that providing for the basic needs of all would discourage work or harm economic growth. Owen believed in the inherent goodness and potential of people, arguing that if provided with the right conditions, including education and a supportive community, individuals would willingly contribute to society. He saw poverty and poor living conditions not as the result of individual failings but as systemic issues that could be addressed through cooperative efforts and social reform. The idea that a universal basic income would harm economic growth would be antithetical to Owen's belief in the possibility of creating a more equitable and productive society through communal support and cooperation.
