Don't we already have Marxism-Socialism though?

It been called many things from social safety net to welfare.

You can look at Social Security and its money woes as an example.

That system is going insolvent with people contributing.

It is mandatory to contribute if you are gainfully employed..

Programs that truly are needs based don't really fit into the Marxist approach. UBI is much closer to, or just is, Marxism because its universal. You get the money simply because the government decided that is the amount of money everyone needs and deserves.
