Anyone who commits crime in communist states or socialist states are capitalists at heart.
My contention, that the crime rates soars - when you have an unequal distribution of wealth, remains. Committed crime could be down to a number of factors - greed, envy, desperation, and need. When the gulf between those that have, and those that don't have increases, then crime increases in an proportional manner.
Lets take for example one rat in one cage. The amount of space the creature has equals - personal wealth. If you increase the number of rats you decrease this amount of wealth. Ultimately one would reach a point when fights break out ( crime ) - as they fight for food and space - to such an extent that they will begin to murder one another. The solution to this, which is in the best interest of the rats as a whole, is simply equal shares of the space and food. However when you have one dominant creature within the cage - using up half the total space for it's own use - ( Capitalism ) by bullying - the other less dominant occupants - miserably confined to the overcrowding squalor - then here is the cause for discontent and crime.

This appears nothing more than patriotic jingoism - Don't you find it slightly ironic, that as an American - you hold America in the highest of regards - when it comes to hanging out your dirty laundry? I mean we are all victims - to some extent of propaganda. Americans however are the victims, of the greatest propaganda machine this world has ever known. Although you just happen to think - when it comes to hanging out your dirty linen - that the USA is top of the league - than almost anywhere else. Perhaps it is your own opinion - however it's one that's shared - and ruthlessly propagated by those that control American interests throughout this world. Snap out of your stars and stripes haze bobbie.
I leave you with this thought - poverty is man- made - not withstanding famine and drought. Poverty in itself - is a crime against humanity.
