The poverty

The poverty

The poverty video shows that neoliberal policy  means extreme inequality, poverty, a giant and growing divide between poor and rich, injustice, privileges for super rich elites and corporations, exploitation of people as precarious workers, and a threat to democracy and its institutions and its principles. On top of it, it shows that in neoliberalism, the increase of low-paying jobs and evidence of poverty of people are not perceived as problems, but instead referred to euphemistically as competitive advantages and improvements in the report, and even celebrated.Instead of this notion of an economic system, we as  propose a different image of humanity and a completely different policy approach to actually abolish poverty for every individual: The unconditional right to secure existence and social participation. We stand for a poverty reduction strategy that does not build on the chance that with enough privileges for corporations, business and elites, sometime jobs and full employment will be created , but for a strategy, that sees full employment as no longer as contemporary or desirable. Instead, we need an unconditional basic income guarantee for every single human, that meets the goals of the human right to secure existence and social participation, and want to establish a comprehensive system that generally and unconditionally secures all livelihoods, and makes the emancipation and empowerment of all humans possible.
