Considering the injustice and suffering people have and continue to go through, it seems that nothing works. Why not explore something original and not something that is part of the same old script.
Capitalism can not eradicate poverty

Yes. Destroy capitalism and dethrone God. ~ Karl Marx. Like I said. Nothing new same old rhetoric . It's like talking with a turnip or,,,,a fencepost. Can't get off the track or change the channel. That would require some guts. Not so easy to come up with your own ideas know what I mean Vern.
."Taiwan has the lowest poverty rate worldwide – only 1.5 percent of Taiwan's population lives in poverty, followed by Malaysia at 3.8 percent, Ireland at 5.5 percent, Austria at 6.2 percent, then Thailand and France at 7.8 percent, Switzerland at 7.9 percent, Canada at 9.4 percent, the Netherlands at 10.5 percent, etc."
Funny, I see no communism playing a hand in that.
Average wage in Cuba = $20 per month, average wage in China = about $40 per month, average wage in NK = about $125 per month, average wage in VN = about $150, etc.
Average wage in Switzerland = about $4050 per month, average wage in Ireland = about $4010 per month, average wage in Luxembourg = about $3975 per month, etc.
There is a pattern there.
wow you're obsessed with new ideas.. why don't you come up with one.Yes. Destroy capitalism and dethrone God. ~ Karl Marx. Like I said. Nothing new same old rhetoric . It's like talking with a turnip or,,,,a fencepost. Can't get off the track or change the channel. That would require some guts. Not so easy to come up with your own ideas know what I mean Vern.
I knew I always wanted to go back to where my ancestors may have come from. The Emerald Isle. Too old now though. I don't think they like Americans anywho.
how to even decipher this nonsense? firstly what is even the criteria they use for who is in "poverty" and who isn't?
also how do you include countries like cuba who've suffered an economic blockade from that imperialist terrorist country of amerikkka for decades? like are you trying to be disingenuous?
Learn more of the English language.
See for yourself: just type the words "poverty rates", "countries", and "list" into Google and snoop around.
NVMD I did it for you as I recognize your handicap: here is a good one - Population below poverty line - Country Comparison
Poverty | Data
etcetera and each have a description of their methodology.
I also used surveys of average wages of countries.
Because the US embargo has had little effect on Cuba because of countries like Canada and others who do business with Cuba as well as people from various countries touring Cuba. The USA is not the only country on the planet, you know.
Only when I want to be. Now is not one of those times. What is your excuse?
Here's a tired old cliché. " The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again , and expecting different results "~ Albert Einstein. Here's another one if I can remember it, " Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. " Don't know who said that one.

Of course there is poverty in Cuba. That kind of thing happens in communist dictatorships. Didn't you ever wonder why communist countries have gleaming new military equipment and the people are starving?
At least in capitalist countries poverty is a choice not government mandated.
Commies have to live in the past. They have nothing new to offer. Their corrupt system has been proven not to function many times. That is why communist countries require huge investments in military and fences,It is the only way to control the population.
Proving once again that you are totally ignorant.
It hasn't learned anything yet either. Still parroting tired old slogans with no clue as to reality.
