If Poverty is not natural, why then are we failing to overcome it as we did slavery, colonialism and apartheid?

Poverty is a permanent condition at birth as we are all born with nothing but in unequal spaces. Inequality begins at that stage and parents either struggle to make your life better than theirs or at least ensure that you inherit the best.
Inequality is therefore the cause of poverty. The struggle to be better than the other sustains poverty. It promotes exploitation of man by man. It then develops to stratification of humanity by gains. The have and the have not. Once humanity is comfortable as a common society with what they have, they group to fight to keep it. Those that have not are not able to break the wall of those that have because of less or no resources to fight.
Poverty will not go away unless the have agree to share without compensation. Poverty will not go away unless governments embark on education models that discourage employment of human labour but entrepreneurship and sharing of gains with whoever chooses to participate in the success of the enterprise.
Poverty will not go away unless all social service are equally provided by the states for free like obtaining a birth certificate.
To overcome poverty, you need to overthrow the whole system that underpinned racial exploitation, colonialism and apartheid, you have to overthrow the rule by a few, meaning you need to overthrow capitalism. Reform of a capitalist system may reduce poverty to an extent (hence the talk of poverty alleviation in capitalist societies) but it shall not ever eradicate it. In fact poverty is a necessary condition for capitalism to thrive otherwise there is no one to exploited.
