Just a friendly (depressing) reminder that poverty is a social construct. As a society we say, 'cool' everyday. (hexbear.net)

I should clarify what I'm saying: it's not a problem of "society" (which puts the onus on the average proletarian) but the mode of production and the bourgeois power structure.

I think we will get rid of it eventually.

To me, it's not a matter of if, but when.

But I understand what you're saying and I'm sorry if you're feeling down.

But I think that the situation is not hopeless and so I don't mean to come off as being a "doomer."

Thank you. Not feeling down; I just think its something I forget to remember and others may benefit from a reminder. It doesnt have to be like this. We can do better. Also yes onus is on the Proletariat
