I think you are confusing free with fairness.It is pretty random as to whom your parents are or as buffet calls it the "ovarian lottery" do you think you would be successful if you were born as a subsistence farmer in africa?
I think it did make a poltical statement maybe not the one they intended, especially as hasbro knocked the other side of the board.(which included a version of UBI)
UBI deals with neither. It is not going to equalize starting point for fairness (I do not think it is feasible or even if feasible why should we try?) Why should we waste resources to to create an experimental condition that everyone begins on the same line? The alternative maybe be unfair but doesn't make one not free.
UBI just makes individual human progress and development easier by removing desperation.
