Capitalism is when a small amount of people own the means of production while doing no work and profiting off the labor of many. It isn't when people buy and sell and work for money.

When you suggest that people must be forced to work, it demonstrates you don't understand it at all.

UBI simply puts power back where it belongs, in the hands of the workers.

Wrong. That would be oligarchy. But i can tell that you are confused since you present UBI as capitalism without even realizing it.
