Capitalism needs justification. Neoliberalism is an awful policy. Do I need to school you on the history of US foreign intervention?

You think eliminating poverty is an awful policy?
What you just did is called a straw man.
Besides, many countries are not poor by accident.

So, none of that matters to what I said, since I specifically talked about eliminating poverty. That's what a "straw man" argument actually is, when you decide to argue against something else entirely, like foreign intervention, instead of poverty.
