Let's see: are there any historical parallels to this "Marxist" idea?
I think that basic universal income is pretty much the way that Jesus and his merry band of disciples got paid.
The ones that were best at begging did the begging and the one they trusted the most to be fair (I assume Jesus), distributed the food, clothes and whatever equally. There are no reports that any of them complained about the arrangement.
Robin Hood also claimed a similar system. We were told (incorrectly, it turns out) that Jesse and Frank James did something similar.
