Revision as of 15:27, 26 July 2023
Poverty reduction, poverty relief, or poverty alleviation is a set of measures intended to permanently lift people out of poverty. The goal of communism is to establish a post-scarcity economic situation where everyone is immensely wealthy, and thus all communists must first defeat poverty by providing for the basic needs of the people.
Not all poverty alleviation is carried out by communists, however. Some poverty alleviation campaigns are undertaken by bourgeois politicians in order stabilize their society to prevent a revolution
