How does "people should not like in poverty" fit with anarchy? I'm asking out of curiosity, not to be contentious.

Supporting unemployed or disadvantaged needs collectivism, some system to contribute to people in need, which then also needs some kind of tax collection and governance. Do anarchists expect individuals to support people in need as their own independent choice?

    Rich vs poor is a garbage social hierarchy.

    This is just capitalist/statist assumptions within the hegemonic narrative.

    People don't need "some system" to solve poverty. People need to end the current system that creates and depends on poverty.

    Poverty is (supposedly) a made-up metric in result of capitalism. If capitalism no longer exists any worker gets enough to escape poverty just by working
