Do you mean having the regime throw as few crumbs as necessary to the population just to avoid a dictatorship overthrow?

Perhaps what people need is not money but the political power to decide what they want to do with their common wealth (which could be UBI, of course).

Maybe but I can see how it could actually end up in “give it all to us right now” which obviously would short circuit the whole idea.
