@calestous what if poverty is the denial of rights, choice, entitlements? the concept and definition of poverty isn't just income.

@niawag2011 Then you expand rights, increase choices and guarantee entitlements. These preconditions for wealth-creation. -
@calestous the point is that poverty is more than (different than) the absence of wealth or income. so your "logical impossibility" is off. -
@niawag2011 I am trying to get at the limitations of using military metaphors. -
@calestous i get that. but important not to treat poverty passively or as inevitable. and to recognize justice elements. -
@niawag2011 The language of "fighting poverty" fails to focus on positive forces that contribute to its reduction. Lot of work on symptoms. -
@calestous fighting pov is a catch-phrase - motivational, dynamic, and visionary (that poverty CAN be defeated).
