Really any cursory glance at how the World Bank defines “extreme poverty” and the cause of “poverty reduction” reveals this for the farce that it is. The World bank defines “Extreme poverty” as earning less then $3 a day.
Around 2 billion people on this planet remain subsistence farmers. They grow food, that they then eat, they may sell some food to buy things but for the most part these people do not really make any money. When subsistence farmers are forced off their farms to look for a work, they suddenly become wage earners and are removed from “poverty”.
Being moved from a subsistence farmer to a 12 hrs a day sweatshop slave is not poverty reduction. The real term for it is much more enlightening: proletarianization.

2·3 months agoEver heard of Guantanamo Bay? Abu Ghraib? Biden deported more people then Trump. Extrajudicial punishment, torture and punitive and cruel immigration policy is bipartisan in the USA.

41·3 months agoBiden did NOT approve weapons for use in the genocide.
This is just a denial of reality. Israel used Biden’s bombs to bomb Palestinians. That is a fact.
At no point did any US agency approve, authorize, or coordinate the genocide.
The USA and Israel intelligence apparatus is linked at the hip. We share raw-intelligence data with them without vetting it first. Did you know that the USA had troops in Israel to operate the THAAD missile defense system? Did you know that Biden’s so called “Humanitarian Aid Pier” was actually a staging ground for use in the Nuseirat Hostage Raid?
I think the link between the USA and Israeli intelligence community is kind of the nail in the coffin for any denial of coordination.
AT BEST the USA has direct knowledge that Israel is performing a genocide in Gaza, and the response is… send them more weapons? If there is NO coordination (which I find impossible to believe), then essentially, the USA has (and had) full knowledge a genocide is taking place, while funding and arming it. I don’t see how that is any better than coordinating directly.

Anyone who believes this simply does not understand the relationship between the United States and Israel.
Israel is the single biggest recipient of US aid: https://www.cfr.org/article/us-aid-israel-four-charts
Biden continuously approved weapons shipments to Israel during the course of the genocide: https://apnews.com/article/us-israel-arms-gaza-ebe971ca8878ff430ce6458c04151585
Israel is what is known as a “Major non-NATO ally”, this includes countries like Australia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_non-NATO_ally
Israel receives access to raw USA intelligence: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/11/nsa-americans-personal-data-israel-documents
The USA admits that Israel targets civilians in the NSM-20 report that it is required to perform on countries the USA supplies weapons too: https://www.justsecurity.org/95584/nsm-20-report-israel-us/
The USA is joined at the hip with Israel, economically, militarily, and politically. It is unfair to categorize Israel as anything BUT a territory of the United States. The political form of Israel as a “independent state” is just a way for the USA to absolve itself of the crimes of Israel.
It is insult to the collective intelligence of the world to deny the direct link between Israel’s genocidal project and the United States materiel support for it. Why does the USA cover for Israel’s crimes in the UN? Why does the USA refuse to stop selling arms to Israel? Why does the USA state department lie about Israels obviously genocidal intent in Gaza?
These questions may seem difficult but the answer is obvious. The USA and Israel are coordinating the genocide of Palestinians through an elaborate dance of seemingly being “opposed” to each other at times while in actuality operating in lockstep.

73·3 months agoEvery month from becoming the nominee until the election: cease fire, hostage release, two state solution.
These are not genocidal statements.
Actions are louder than words. Biden provided weapons, and coordinated the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. So did Trump. There is no meaningful difference in their policies.


Money is simply the ability to command labor-power. Money is an abstraction for what is in actuality class society, Financial reform around money and taxes cannot change the nature of class society. They are obfuscations designed to distract you.
