UBI's aim of a society of "free labor" -- or no labor at all -- is appealing, but it is individualizing and lacks coordinating devices. With a self-managed socialist job guarantee, free labor would be an associated and socialized labor. At the same time, it would socialize the deployment of capital to meet community needs.

Quote verified. The exact text was found in the article "Why Socialist Job Guarantees Are Better Than Universal Basic Income" by Sam Nakayama and Alexander Kolokotronis, published on Truthout (March 29, 2017) and mirrored on DSA-LSC. The quote appears in the section "A Free Associational Labor with an Anti-State Trajectory." Vote alignment correct: the quote argues against UBI in favor of socialist job guarantees, matching the "against" vote on "Implement a universal basic income." Fixed: updated source_url from old http://www.truth-out.org/op-ed/item/40022-... format (which 301-redirects) to the canonical https://truthout.org/articles/... URL, and set year to 2017.
