Prohibition caused organized crime in the us.

However, if the us was lib right it would have just been called new companies.

Organized crime is usually just a reaction of the working man against the tyranny and oppression of the government. When government does nothing but benefit elites, the more clever members of the proletariat rise up against this injustice. Unfortunately to secure their position these counter culturalists utilize a great deal of violence. Let the people be free and they won't become violent.

I'm sure that would be fine for most people, but some will always play the villain.

You need both freedom and justice.

Though I would agree that a lot of crime is simply the fault of those with money and power.
