A democratic socialist government would IMMEDIATELY stop the production of guns for the " free market " . Rational control of ALL industries now FOR PROFIT capitalist will restore sanity to everyday life in " OUR democracy " ( now really that ! ) . The root of crime is a social order that makes EACH THE ENEMY OF ALL. A social order that condemns relatively weak human beings to an absurdly INDIVIDUAL STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE . No surprise that everywhere separate human " wolf packs " - rescuing vulnerable , alienated YOUNG individuals from hopeless loneliness and solitude- then together they prey on an atomized " society ". The soul of an individual in SOLITARY SPIRITUAL CONFINEMENT breeds insanity, breeds the sociopath . Whole books have been written -and mostly IGNORED - about capitalist " alienation ". The BEAT GENERATION understood this way back in the 1950s. Listen to Allen Ginsberg 's poem " Howl " : [ “I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of the night.”]
