> We propose a Visas between Individuals Program (VIP) that would tie together the interests of the working classes of rich and poor countries through sponsorship of visas and sharing of the gains from migration. Because every citizen would benefit from migration, rather than just the wealthy or those in cosmopolitan cities, migration would move from being one of the most divisive issues in wealthy countries to a widely popular source of growing middle-class income
So a person giving some immigrant a visa will have the option to cancel it? This type of relations between individuals will surely result in abuse.
What is called 'capitalism' changed every few decades until it froze after Milton Friedman. Friedman's negative income tax proposal (effectively very similar to UBI) was already too radical.
The 'socialism' froze around the same time to the baby boomer era Social Democracy that worked actually quite well in industrial society. It has no answers to post-industrial problems. Except in cases where capitalism is overshooting.
Eventually there will be change, but it can't be framed socialism vs capitalism. See for example: http://radicalmarkets.com/ and Common Ownership Self-Assessed Tax (COST).
