The popularity of universal basic income is in reality a triumph of the neoliberal ideology, an ideology that refuses, in any social policy, to put inequalities at the center of our democracies. Basically, it is an illusory fight against poverty without really fighting against inequalities

Source URL http://www.marx.be/fr/content/que-faire-de-lallocation-universelle returns HTTP 403 and blocks WebFetch, so I cannot directly verify the quoted text on the primary source. Tried fetching Jacobin author page, The Nation article, and danielzamoravargas.com/media — all also returned 403. Web search results strongly corroborate that Daniel Zamora (sociologist, Université Libre de Bruxelles) has consistently argued UBI is a "triumph of neoliberal ideology" and fights poverty without addressing inequality (e.g., his book with Anton Jäger "Welfare for Markets: A Global History of Basic Income"), and the vote direction ("against" statement #224 "Implement a universal basic income") aligns with the quote's clear anti-UBI stance. However, since the specific source URL is inaccessible to me, I cannot positively confirm the exact wording at that source, so marking ai_unverifiable per instructions.
