"We voted against the European Parliament report on the so-called platform against poverty and social exclusion because it is a very blatant insult to the workers, who are being condemned by the policy of the EU and the bourgeois governments of the Member States to destitution, misery and impoverishment. The EU’s own statistics illustrate that the number of people living below the poverty line in Europe has exploded from 80 million to 116 million in the two years since 2009 and is continuing to rise. Poverty is not a result of, it is prerequisite to the capitalist system. Poverty is not merely a product of the capitalist crisis; it exists and increases even under conditions of capitalist growth. Poverty cannot be eliminated without overturning the anti-grassroots policy of the EU and of the governments and parties of capital that support it, without overturning the economic and political power of the monopolies. Poverty will be eradicated only when the producers of wealth take over, so that they can enjoy the wealth that they produce."@en1
