Rape and Murder are human nature... we spend money fighting that. Should we not?
I think we can all agree on the answer to to that question.

Do you consider poverty as the result of force, a denial of individual liberty similar to rape and murder though?

You haven't shown anything as usual. You come in talk about tangential issues like poverty making sure to frame it in your own preferred ideological context then cry about facts.

I am saying poverty is relative to the culture you live in you are saying it is not. Please show me where people have to shit in the streets in the US because they lack access running water. Try to keep up fam.

You are trying to redefine poverty to suit your purposes yes I agree.

Don't understand how somebody can be so fanatical about free market economics when we live on the eve of a revolution in automation, and the vast majority of human labor will be obsolete.

Even if you believe it worked well in the past (it did, it was a fantastic boon to industrialization), it's obviously not going to work in the future. It simply won't take 8 billion humans to run the economy, and consumption-driven economics is destined to destroy the planet.

I think, considering the current company on this forum, it would not be safe to agree on the answer to my question at all.

That is a good question at the end though. I think poverty CAN be a result of force and a denial of individual liberty though. Definitely not always.

So let me get this straight. You dont know the source of poverty but you advocate an elaborate, wasteful, expensive, unproven solution to ending it?
