I suggest you learn a little bit of basic logic before calling people stupid. "Poverty happened under oppressive regimes", is pretty far from "oppressive regimes want poverty". I never said they didn't cause poverty, I said it's not what they want.
I'm not sure what more insulting: you calling me "incredibly stupid", or your incredibly poor understanding of basic logic. The former is kind of personal, but the latter is insulting to humans' intellect as a whole so it's a big deal.

> no government benefits from their citizens being poor (capitalism does)
Why do you make this incredibly stupid claim?
