The sources of misery and violence that appear within communities, whether gangs, mental illness, domestic abuse, drugs, hate crimes, or mass shootings, are direct reflections of what the social order is designed to bring about. Capitalism’s purpose is to create profits, which requires that the needs of the people be neglected. Because the conditions of the people are filled with unemployment, falling wages, underfunded public services, and hateful propaganda which reinforces the violence the system depends on, they respond by going on destructive paths. The system then locks them up, and points to their actions as proof that the heavy hand of the state is necessary for protecting society.
