And this is why a universal basic income is built into most non-capitalist structures people talk about these days.

Look. The hard fact of the matter is: we are slowly automating ourselves into total redundancy. We’re already at a point where a lot of people literally have nothing to contribute. As an example: a person lives in a small town who, for financial reasons, was unable to go to college, and can’t get a good-paying office job because of it. The minimum wage jobs in this town are scarce, and already filled. They can’t afford to leave. Under capitalism, this person would be worthless and likely consigned to homelessness. Under a structure based on socialism, they would have enough to survive. Not the fancy things. But they could live.

I agree that it’s utopian, but it’s literally because we’ve all internalized the “got mine, fuck you” attitude so much that even the lower class pushes down in a desperate attempt to get some kind of upward motion. Meanwhile, billionaires hoard unreasonable amounts of money for the sake a keeping themselves and their families richer than anyone has the right to be.
