That's not conflict theory, Marx's conflict theory states that society is in perpetual conflict over limited access to resources, where established capitalistic dominance guarantees access, and so conflict is redirected towards the bourgeoisie in order to influence social change! It's a social theory that extends to a criticism of classism, not of perpetuation of poverty, yet you can notice it in many, non-class based areas! Like social media apps in conflict for your attention, so they develop better and better algorithms!
