A family living on a farm and providing most of their own needs, living sustainably for generations, is by most definitions “living in poverty” because they consume very little.
Now if you strip that family of their land and force them to work in factories their consumption goes way up since they no longer are able to support themselves.
That family has now been “lifted out of poverty”.
But yes, you are correct, no system has made people more depended on exploitation then Capitialism.
