Capitalism needs homelessness, joblessness and poverty in order to function. Probably preaching to the choir, but it doesn’t create poverty because it is bad as an economic system, it creates poverty because it works so well.
I more meant that it’s very nature is that it is a system where wealth both exists and is accumulated. If we didn’t have money, we wouldn’t have poverty.
True but the problem isn’t just money, its private property. Money is how social relations under capitalism are managed. It isn’t the root of the problem, but it creates lots of avenues for exploitation. I would like to live in a world without money but we have to organize and fight for it.
I dare say, capitalism, by it’s very definition, has CREATED all poverty.
