Republican freedom from domination requires redistributive social policy including basic income and wealth constraints.

Evidence

For republicans, it is necessary that “suitably protective blocks and burdens are in place in order to ensure that no one depends on the good will of others for avoiding interference” (Pettit 2012, 109). For instance, there is an important social justice dimension accompanying the republican project: most republicans argue that citizens need basic resources (Laborde 2010), and that there ought to be both “a basic income grant” as well as “various constraints on excessive wealth inequalities” (Lovett 2022, 111). — Adelin-Costin Dumitru, Forging the Resistive Republic, 12
