The true dignity and value of a human being is guaranteed in a society where people love and respect one another and where the foundation of social life is the ethical and moral relations based on conscience.

However, such ethical and moral relations peculiar to the human world is completely extinct in the capitalist society where extreme individualism and jungle law is widespread. The feeling of hatred, antagonism, and hostility toward each other is commonplace. The practice of killing each other is universal phenomena.

Recently, the UK Office for National Statistics announced data showing that the rate of outbreak of murder cases by juveniles has continuously increased in the last ten years.

According to its announcement, 8 out of 10 juvenile murder cases in England and Wales were by knives and other sharp tools which is a record high compared to the past.

Also, the rate of murder case by teenagers using various weapons in these regions has continuously increased in the past decade, from 56% in 2013-2014 to 83% in 2023-2024. It has thus set a “new record”, the ONS stated.

Stabbing is not the first to happen in the UK.

In July 2024, a 17-year-old burst into a kids’ dancing and singing class in England and injured 11 children and 2 adults and killed 3 girls with a knife. This incident caused a public outcry.

According to data, children in Western countries watch hundreds of thousands of videos with violent scenes mostly of murder through TV and internet until they become adults. The children are very much fond of reenacting those scenes.

Such facts show that the capitalist society is a Petri dish for moral and mental freaks and criminals who, infected with extreme misanthropy, seek pleasure in indiscriminate murder and violence using guns and other weapons.

In the corrupt capitalist society, the young people, who should shoulder the future of their country realizing their dreams and hopes without gloom or despair, are becoming the culprit of crimes and social evils of all forms. It is a society without future, the one that is on the headlong rush to its doom.
