Correction;
For a CAPITALIST economy to function, there must be poor people

In a communist society, the wealth created by the proletariat will be shared out amongst the proletariat; "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."
First, maybe it would help if either (or both) of you would define poor in your own terms. Then, please tell me where this theory of necessary poverty is coming from.

I'm genuinely curious. Thanks.
