    I always thought UBI was not as good as just decommodifying food, housing, and whatever else.

      Unless there is a near infinite supply of something, it is a commodity and there is a market for it, even in a perfectly anarchistic utopia. Things take land, labor, and capital to produce. That makes them a commodity no matter what, even if the state and everyone else all insist my labor belongs to them.
