I would argue that Universal Basic Income doesn't have to be based on force/coercion/theft. There are ways to accomplish the goal without having the state be the ones handling it.
If the issue/question is "how do we create a universal income/make sure everyone's basic needs are met?" and you immediately assume this could only be done via government, that's no different than a statist asking you who would build the roads without government. Anything that government can do, we can do better voluntarily, including UBI.
wrote an excellent series on Universal Basic Income last year, that is well worth the read for anyone interested in economics, philosophy, and bettering the world. As you know, Dan is a staunch anarchist, and his approach to this issue doesn't break from that philosophy.
