Comment on Universal basic income is 'straight out of the Karl Marx playbook,' financial guru Dave Ramsey says

I’m sure Dave Ramsey has never read Marx, and I’m equally certain he is proud of that fact, so how can he claim to know what Marx did advocate for or would advocate for? I’m not a Marxist, nor an expert in Marxian theory, but I have read and studied some Marx and based on what (admittedly little) I know, I don’t see a connection between Marxism and universal basic income. In fact, I think Marx would have been opposed to UBI, maybe even viewing it as something that would strengthen the capitalist class and weaken the working class.
