I agree capitalism is enforcing poverty today, but I'd call it the weapon, not the root. Concentrated power came first: pre-revolution France had the top 10% holding ~90% of the wealth with no capitalism required, and the Soviet elite managed it without capitalism at all. Capitalism is just the most efficient machine power has built so far, because competition enforces it automatically.
If we only abolish capitalism, whoever holds concentrated power will build the next machine. So the fight isn't just against capitalism; it's against concentrated power in any form: boardroom, party or state.
