Youth in Capitalist Countries Torn with Corruption and Despair
|

Pyongyang, January 17 (KCNA) -- Last year alone, a large number of young people in capitalist countries were thrown into a cesspool of crimes, a product of corrupt society. At the beginning of last year, a 22 year-old young man in Arizona, U.S. indiscriminately fired at a crowd of people who had gathered in front of a department store for a meeting, leaving about 20 people dead or injured. It was disclosed that a young man in his twenties strangled a 3-year-old child to death before throwing him on a riverbank in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan early in March. Drug trafficking and its use have become more rampant in the capitalist countries, becoming a malign tumor as they leave young people depraved morally and physically. The European Commission, quoting a survey, said 16 percent of the younger generation of Ireland are using drug. Another serious problem facing the capitalist countries is the steady increase of young unemployed owing to the consequences of economic and financial crises. The EU Statistics Bureau recently said the number of unemployed young people reached 5.6 million in its member states in November last year. In Italy the number of unemployed people under the age of 35 reached 1.138 million as of August last year. In Spain one of three unemployed is a young man. In Britain, young jobless people stood at 1.027 million as of late October last year. The youth in the capitalist countries are cursing their corrupt societies without any hope and in despair. This is evidenced by a nationwide opinion poll conducted among young people in Greece early in December last year. According to it, 6 of 10 respondents said they would like to leave Greece, pessimistic about the prospect of their country in the grip of a serious debt crisis. The above-said facts go to clearly prove that a capitalist society has no future and is bound to go to ruin. |
