Given that we'd have to all conspire to respect the UBI token while we replaced the government, I'd classify it as cryptocommunism, but I take your point.

I just have a hard time imagining a government that both:

- keeps the U in UBI

- is not under some kind if existential threat from its people

You need the latter to have the former. But if you're coordinated to achieve the latter then you don't really need the government to achieve the former anyway.
