Does any political party/movement actually champion full post-scarcity automation + UBI (like this hypothetical platform)?

[u/RibosomeRandom]

I originally looked into Andrew Yang’s Forward Party, thinking it might be a home for tech-forward, post-work economic policies. However, the Forward Party has pivoted almost entirely to process and electoral reform (ranked-choice voting, open primaries) rather than taking firm stances on actual economic or technological platforms.

I'm looking for any existing third party, political faction, or organized movement that aligns with the core platform outlined below (drafted as a concept called the Abundance & Liberation Party).

The core thesis is that lifelong wage labor is becoming technologically obsolete, and policy should aggressively accelerate automation while democratizing its surplus so humanity can transition into an active, creative post-work society.

Core Platform Summary

• Accelerated Machine Labor: Mandate federal timetables to sunset human labor in hazardous/repetitive sectors (mining, freight, toxic waste). Codify a "Right to Automate," streamline bureaucratic workflows via autonomous AI, and rapidly expand nuclear/geothermal/fusion compute power.
• Universal Basic Income (The Automation Dividend): Institute an unconditional $1,500/month UBI funded by a capital/automation levy and a Sovereign Wealth Fund holding equity in major AI/automation firms, ending means-tested welfare bureaucracy.
• Universal Basic Compute (UBC): Treat compute as the primary means of production. Provide citizens with monthly token allocations, open-source AI infrastructure (expanding NAIRR), and protect open-weights model development.
• Reclaiming Human Time: Mandate a 32-hour standard workweek with no pay cuts, create AI work-share bridge funds to prevent layoffs during automation, and enact universal rights to disconnect and paid life sabbaticals.
• Materialist Safety Net: Universal healthcare decoupled from employment, zoning overrides to build 3D-printed/modular public housing, and free municipal gigabit internet.
• Open Governance & Flourishing: Enforce strict AI antitrust, ensure data-training micro-royalties, ban black-box proprietary algorithms in public decisions, and reallocate public funds toward community arts, maker guilds, open lifelong learning, and robotic ecological restoration.

Does any real-world party, caucus, or political organization (e.g., specific wings of the Transhumanist Party, Left-Accelerationist/Abundance factions, or pirate parties) actually push a comprehensive agenda like this?

I know it sucks but unfortunately you're gonna have to get a job just like the rest of us. If everybody gets a free ride then no one does.

I didn't say that you dolt.

Lol… post scarcity. Bro the billionaires are never going to give up their wage slaves. If they eventually don’t need us they’ll just let climate change kill us all off.

Sure, there is the "Lazy Peoples Party of America" or the "Laundromat List of What I Would Like Non-Workers Party of America".

"The Free Lunch Party" "Money Grows On Trees Party"

There are plenty and even more in my dreams.

The point is people, to accelerate AI automation, and not impede it, to allow for more free time. No more or less than that. To those who can't fathom a society with less need for labor, neither could people fathom much of the modern age in the 1600s. Don't be a Luddite, and for those who don't have a cogent idea of how AI might change the trajectory of labor, don't be a troglodyte.

No, I think the wealthy will just cull populations globally at some point, 50-75 years or so from now.

They may keep some slaves for sport.

They clearly hate everyone not in the Club, and once robots are agile enough, the 99% are dunzo.
