You are fixated on a straw man, clearly too ignorant of the subject material to have a discussion on this.
I provided resources. Read them and get back to me, otherwise there is no reason to continue, since your aim seems to be controlling the narrative and not actually engaging in substantial discussion.
This doesn’t sound like you want to eliminate poverty?
You complain I brought up the straw man of poverty, but that's the entire point of neoliberalism: to make people wealthy. It's NOT to start wars or bring disease or famine or whatever. It's an economic system designed to bring about wealth, as demonstrated by neoliberal policies that removed poverty from much of the third world.
This is why I don’t trust socialist: I have never heard a socialist say “I want to eliminate poverty”. And in fact, they seem to take pride in being impoverished while being ashamed of any bit of wealth.
It’s Ok to have nice things. You DON’T have to be poor.
We don't care if people are rich. We are if they are poor, and we believe that's a problem.
And our track record of eliminating poverty around the world over the last 50 years through neoliberal free trade should be celebrated, not discouraged.
Again, I have no interest in engaging with someone who is clearly extremely ignorant about neoliberalism and US foreign policy, and who is fixated on engaging in straw man arguments. Stop embarrassing yourself and let it go.

You're welcome.
