Universal basic infrastructure is what we need a push towards. Next to free energy, education, medicine.

There was a country with all these things already implemented. Education was free on all levels, medicine too, nearly free energy and infrastructure.

This utopian place was called the "USSR". And all was rosy and shiny there.

There is a perception, common across pretty much the entire US political spectrum, that we have nothing to learn from the history of the Soviet Union, and no reason to fear any similarity of outcome.

I won't comment on the origins of this perception, or its accuracy. I'll just say I sure do hope it turns out to be correct.
