As someone that has volunteered for a number of anti-poverty organizations, the GOAL is the elimination of poverty, but like "eliminating racism", while the end goal may be impossible, working towards that goal and reducing it is as worthwhile as any cause.

I don't laugh at this woman for being in anti-poverty groups. I would laugh at her belief that violence would work towards producing that end goal.
