Unrest in London phenomenon Order Destruction of Capitalism

Young people wearing masks and hooded shirt into rioting, looting shops, burning and continue to provoke outrage in England. Young people who wear the face cover, it really has possessed a very great anger, and they live in "ghettos", as well as their lives depend on government assistance. Those poor people are highly dependent on government welfare funds. Mayor of London Boris Johnson said those involved looting, robbery, and arson, the "criminal", and want to get justification for their actions, he said. Wing newspaper column "Right" to blame young people, who "does not work."

But, academics and community leaders say the identity of young people involved rioting, robbery, looting, and burning it, is far more complex - which represent groups of young people who burn their emotions easily, due to social and economic tensions that could explode at any time, and it is almost inevitable.

On the third night of violence in London, anti-riot police have to deal with young people, who continue to plunder, robbery, and arson, and the streets filled with smoke from the burning car. Among the police confront their enemies, who come from different backgrounds - young and old, black and white.

In places where retail, where looters opened the gate into a safety chain stores, and television monitor screen, it can be seen, how men and women who fled with a bag of stolen goods.

Paul Bagguley, a sociologist from the University of Leeds, said the identities of those involved are so varied, different kinds of backgrounds and conditions of unrest has attracted groups of different social groups - and this pattern of rebellion that had previously occurred in the UK.

"In terms of direct conflict with the police, which involved mostly young people. But in terms of looting, it is more of a mix - young men and young women involved," he said.

Bagguley said, however, that those with low-income backgrounds, show that while violence may have been triggered by anger over the actions the police who shot dead a youth, last week. However, the condition is very unusual, it is the accumulation of long-term impacts, due to the global economic downturn, was benr has helped explosion riots, looting, arson, and robbery in the city centers of London.

"I saw that people who are unemployed or very low income who are involved chaos and arson. People are constantly bombarded with advertising and they see the shops full of goods that they can not afford it, and want to buy, and continue to be encouraged to buy , and other desires that may not longer be met by those on low incomes ", said Paul Bagguley.

Bedfordshire University criminologist John Pitts, said that the rioting, looting, robbery, and arson, it's been very accumulative, and the impact of government policies, which cut social services for youth, and resulted in their losing jobs in the public sector. In fact, companies in the UK to be a key factor exacerbating the situation and go, and then causing the explosion of unrest and anger.

"I think there is a sense of dissatisfaction over the policy-peursahaan companies, and situations that severely limit them, and then gave birth to hostility that continues to evolve and explode," he said.

While many of those involved may be from low income families. However, Bagguley, said it's too simple to describe the rioters, it is a product of capitalist culture, he asserted.

London community leaders blame the social security disenfranchisement felt by young people who live in cities like London, where the gap between rich and poor, then gave birth to hatred against the government, and they feel the British government has failed to overcome their problems.

"Although, we are born by the consumer culture, they have no stake or identification with these communities, there is no interest to them, and thus nothing to lose," said Simeon Brown, an activist and social commentator from Tottenham in London, where the first riots occurred on Saturday.

Lee Jasper, a prominent community leader in London, said it was wrong to categorize the looters and vandals as criminals regardless of their anger is boiling - not just about the shooting last week, but it is a very complex situation. The condition is triggered by the shooting by the police.

"There's anxiety and anger, and the extraordinary demands of justice, which has sparked the demonstrations," he said. "You can accuse them all as thugs, but if people think the solution to the problems we see today is only imprison thousands of people, I think they are mistaken," he said.

"There is an important cause that people who are in downtown, felt alienated and disconnected from the wider community environment, has no stake in it, and seeing no reason to adopt the moral values ​​that already exist."

This, said Bagguley, exacerbated by a lack of alternatives for people whose lives without having a job or a poor family - perhaps because young people, they are in some cases, such schools are now being summer).

This is the phenomenon that occurs in Western societies, and almost happened in the entire euro zone. Where unrest is highly accumulative, and without any solution from the government. Young people who are unemployed and do not get a job and no income has become a time bomb.

They each day crammed with ads that are highly consumptive, and see the shops full of luxury goods, while they can not afford it. Now that the euro zone hit by the economic crisis that is dahysat. As a result of debt.
