> devolve ownership of essential infrastructure for social reproduction

I think you might want to pull the vocabulary back to conventional terms if you really want to discuss this productively.

With almost all of those, there are existing practical examples in the real world: the UK NHS covers hospitals, lots of US municipalities have experimented with public housing projects, public schooling is The Way It Is Done through most of the US already, one could argue that existing subsidy regimes all over the world constitute state "ownership" of farming, etc...

Frankly I don't think there's much mystery at all in what you're asking. Try picking a specific policy and arguing for that.



Thanks, I appreciate that feedback. That was definitely a jargony phrase. Mostly I'm wishing for a term to discuss these policies at the level of abstraction where UBI is situated, and I don't see one in conventional discourse at the moment.
