Nel tempo, il combinato disposto di reddito garantito e precarietà lavorativa cristallizza i rapporti di produzione dati, elimina ogni residuo di «potere operaio» nella produzione, e dunque rafforza la divisione in classi della società capitalistica.In altre parole, in assenza di un salario minimo e, ancor più, di un piano per la piena occupazione, la semplice erogazione di un sussidio monetario rischia di tradursi in degrado ed emarginazione sociale. Dai ghetti dei nativi australiani alle periferie berlinesi, gli esempi di come politiche di elargizioni monetarie possano produrre effetti socialmente regressivi non mancano. Di certo, tali politiche non paiono in grado, da sole, di prefigurare alcun rovesciamento nei rapporti sociali scaturiti dai processi di finanziarizzazione e globalizzazione che hanno investito le principali economie capitalistiche nell’ultimo trentennio, rischiando anzi di fungere da foglia di fico (o addirittura da amplificatori) di tali processi.AI Verified source (2015)

The quote directly criticizes a 'reddito garantito' / simple cash subsidy, saying it can reinforce class divisions, weaken worker power, and cause social degradation and marginalization. That clearly implies opposition to implementing a universal basic income as a standalone policy.

The quote criticizes a guaranteed income only "in assenza di un salario minimo" and says such policies are not effective "da sole," so it does not unambiguously reject implementing UBI in all forms.

The supplied passage is present in the MPRA PDF at page 14 (lines 586–597) and is attributed to Marco Veronese Passarella; the same passage also appears in the author’s accepted-version upload of the Ragion Pratica article. It matches verbatim aside from normal PDF line-break/hyphenation cleanup and a missing space after one period in your transcription. Note, however, that the sources I found date this work to 2014 (Ragion Pratica 42, published June 2014; MPRA paper posted December 3, 2014), not 2015.

Cannot access source URL (mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de is blocked). However, corroborating evidence is strong: (1) MPRA paper 60350 is confirmed as "Contro il liberoscambismo" by Marco Veronese Passarella, published in Ragion Pratica Vol.42 No.1 (2014), pp.9-33. (2) The quote's critical left-wing argument against basic income (that reddito garantito without labor protections crystallizes class divisions and eliminates worker power) is fully consistent with Passarella's known academic positions found via web search. (3) Vote "against" on "Implement a universal basic income" correctly reflects the quote's stance. Author bio note: YouCongress lists "University of Leeds" but recent sources indicate University of L'Aquila — may need updating.
