"This society of ours, which is fundamentally unequal owing to the inequality between social classes, also hides a multitude of other inequalities. Thus certain regions which, owing to their geographical position, do not offer every advantage from the point of view of capitalist profit, inevitably receive less investment. The advocates of the liberal economy do not, themselves, have any means of going some way towards compensating for this inequality, other than to appeal to a state or to the European institutions, which boils down to the same thing. We would not be against this type of compensation if it relieved, for the working classes, the handicaps resulting from the actual operation of the capitalist economy. However, the destructive forces of the capitalist economy are more powerful than the derisory resolutions of the European Parliament. Even if subsidies are approved for less-favoured regions, at the end of the day it will not necessarily be those regions and their working classes who benefit from them. This has been proved precisely by the ultra-peripheral regions which the report presents as a model for isolated mountain regions. In spite of aid and subsidies, both national and European, RĂ©union, Guadeloupe and Martinique, to name but a few, still have a particularly high level of unemployment and particularly low wages."@en1
