The Commission's philosophy is Malthusian; its slogan is 'No future'. It takes its inspiration from nihilism. Destroy: destroy the coalmines, the steelworks, the textile industry and, above all, agriculture.
We have arable land: they leave it fallow. We have milk: they impose quotas. We have vineyards: they tear them down. But all of that was not enough to kill us off, so they overhauled the common agricultural policy. They invented decoupling – in other words, being paid for not producing anything – because that is their philosophy: do not create. They have just one ideal: a vast continental retirement home, fed by mass redundancies.
The overhaul of the common organisation of the market for sugar is a perfect example of this ideology. We have sugar refineries: the Commission is going to pay them not to produce anything. For every tonne of sugar they do not produce, they will be paid EUR 400, 500 or 600. For four years. After that, there will be no producers left, just consumers who have no means to consume, and it will only remain for them to be eliminated. Long live death! That was the rallying cry of the Brahmans."@en1
