Oh for sure, I agree with you on that. This reminds me that as far back as during the french revolution, in 1789, some "radical republicans" succeeded in putting a droit de subsistance, right to sustenance, in the very first constitution. That right would guarantee some form of food and shelter for everyone. It was removed in the second constitution by the bourgeoisie, of course.

Those ideas are far from new, and I'm afraid to never see them implemented in my lifetime, but I remain hopeful and will still advocate for them however I can.
