Crime Is Endemic To Capitalism


One might think that with all the gang violence in Toronto there may be some steps taken to prevent it, but no way Jose.

One gang prevention program is closing down due to lack of federal funding. It is called Taking Action to Achieve Growth Success or TAAGS and was operated by the Agincourt Services Association and ends on August 31. 

During its five year run, TAAGS provided counselling and help with education, housing and employment for 380 youths, 285 of which had been on probation or charged with a crime when they entered the program. The records at TAAGS show that 25 per cent had no police involvement after they left. 

Once again capitalism creates a problem it can’t fix, but how can it when crime is endemic to capitalism? 

The fundamentals of capitalism are themselves conducive to crime - the legalized theft of the world's wealth from the many to a few. A socialist society would see the end of all crime illegal and legal.

For socialism,
