Love of justice will lead you to recognize every person’s right to
life. This is, indeed, that first and most fundamental right of
every man, woman and child. The precept, “though shall not
kill”, is common to all religions and ethical systems. But it is
sad to reflect that murder still counts its victims by hundreds, if
not thousands, each year. In war, number may rise to millions.
Duels are still fought in some countries. Infanticide is openly or
secretly practised by a few communities. Rivalry and jealousy

in love incite to murder, and specially in countries where alcoholic

beverages are commonly used and the imagination is over
sexualised by art and literature. Avarice arms the hand of the
poor or greedy murderer who is himself the victim of capitalism.
Striking working men and unarmed agitators are sometimes
murdered by the police and the militia. Prisoners who attempt to
escape are shot down under certain circumstances. Among very
backward tribes murder for cannibalism or ritual still prevails.
Many governments also murder the criminal who has killed a
brother-man; this legalised murder is called ‘justice’ and
‘punishment’. But some humane nations have abolished this
barbarous custom. Some motorists are guilty of the murder of
pedestrians through culpable carelessness. Some working men
are murdered in factory accidents which are caused by the
avarice of the capitalists. Racial or religious riots result in many
murders in several countries. Fascism murders some of its
political opponents secretly or openly. Imperialism provokes
murder and then retaliates by murder. Capitalism murders
millions by slow starvation and premature death. Thus men,
women and children are killed today, in peace and war.
