regarding: "Actually, at its core Marxism is about this motto: (take) from each according to his ability, (give) to each according to his needs."

In a communist society there is no state to "take" or "give" in that way.

Nor is Marx's thought or marxism "about [that] motto" "at its core".

If you have arguments to make about a basic income, can you please make them without so badly misrepresenting the thought of others?

I happen to agree that a UBI is silly, bad goal but I'm offended at how falsely Marx is being described here.
