It supersede both capitalism and socialism. It works in Alaska but the amount of payments from the oil revenue program would have to be substantially boosted to create a basic income program:
“But even in the U.S, basic income has a forebear. In Alaska, the states oil revenues are divided equally between every resident. The checks written at the end of the year usually amount to somewhere around $1,000 per person, hardly enough for a household to live on, but the subsidy does seem to positively affect Alaskans: economist Scott Goldsmith calculated that this is the equivalent to adding an entire new industry, or 10,000 new jobs, to the Alaskan economy. The model boasts nearly a 90 percent approval rating and a slew of fierce political advocates, including those, like Alaskas former Republican Governor Wally Hickel, who see it as a blueprint for a new, superior economic policy.
