R. Palme Dutt: The alternatives that confront humanity to-day are serious enough; but they are alternatives of the destruction and anarchy of capitalism, involving still greater poverty and misery in the midst of abundance and rising productive power, or the social organisation of production, bringing abundance for all. The "overpopulation" (like the simultaneous "overproduction") is only relative to the capitalist conditions of production. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote1511
