"Poverty has no causes. Only prosperity has causes." – Jane Jacobs That cause is Freedom. Without Freedom, what you get is poverty. Socialism does that. Freedom has causes Freedom requires Self-government – "government of the people, by the people, for the people", the Rule of Law, a Government limited by a Constitution which it cannot change, with that Constitution designed to protect Individual Rights. All else – democracy, socialism, dictatorship of any kind – is destructive tyranny.

Fear, ignorance, panic, mob hysteria, propaganda, agitators, and hidden-agenda groups (like Black Lives Matter) are the environment where the Leftists strive to gain the most ground. Reasoned discussion and the facts are the Left's nemesis; that is where the Left loses. Marxist ideologies like Socialism, Fascism, Nazism and Communism do not work. They are oppressive, destroying the incentives for productivity and hence prosperity; poverty is the inevitable result. They are purely destructive, and their so-called proponents know it. Being in power and in control as unbridled tyrants is the ulterior motive and ultimate goal of Leftists. Well-meaning but misguided and misled people, mobs, dupes, stooges, and thugs are their tools. Suppressing opposing views, inciting violence, and silencing opponents are the Left's tactics.
"The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours. But to win it requires your total dedication and a total break with the world of your past, with the doctrine that man is a sacrificial animal who exists for the pleasure of others. Fight for the value of your person. Fight for the virtue of your pride. Fight for the essence of that which is man: for his sovereign, rational mind. Fight with the radiant certainty and the absolute rectitude of knowing that yours is the Morality of Life and that yours is the battle for any achievement, any value, any grandeur, any goodness, any joy that has ever existed on this earth." from Ayn Rand's lecture, "The Sanction of the Victims"
