      Poverty is a function of the state. Not a failure of it.

      Poverty is the implied threat that keeps people falling in line with the authority of the state to protect the economic interests of the owning class which control it.

      People need to learn to govern themselves and their own communities to begin the process of taking authority away from this exploitative system and those who control it.

          No, I mean the state, as in the ideology of statist politics is intrinsically exploitative in its hierarchical structure and only exists to serve the interests of capital at the expense of people who it claims authority over.

          This state is just one of many. Others will follow suit if nothing is done. Right wing ideology is already on the rise across the globe because of these systemic forces.
