".
This joint resolution makes depressing reading: 1.2 billion human beings survive on less than a dollar a day, 815 million people suffer from chronic malnutrition and so on and so forth.
The signatories to this motion are careful not to mention what and who is to blame for the under-development and misery in which three-quarters of humanity is kept, in other words, the major industrial and financial groups and their imperialist government lackeys, which rate the economy of our planet and, in the final analysis, the existence of its entire population below the profit motive.
Although we voted in favour of the amendments which condemn some of the individual consequences of this race for profit, we did not vote in favour of the joint resolution which, even when it comes to aid, contains irresolute promises rather than specific undertakings and the whole purpose of which is to make a society dominated by the capitalist profit motive and its sole beneficiaries look like some sort of patroness."@en1
