Prague got freed from its communist government. Detroit is in trouble primarily because of the unions and the tax and regulatory environment in MI and Detroit. Nope, nope, nope. You are fukking with your head and trying to fukk with mine. Detroit failed because capitalism failed it. If I were you, I wouldn't be so quick to point out the failures of communism when we have Detroit and New Orleans, and to a lesser extent Cleveland, Akron, Toledo, Dayton, Buffalo, Hartford, Bridgeport, Oakland, etc. Communism killed 100 million or so people. Comparing the cities you listed and their problems to the failures and injustices of communism is ridiculous and offensive. We were not talking about their political system.....the political system was a dictatorship, not communism. You originally started this exchange by talking about the economic failure of Prague. I responded in like kind with the list of American cities that are dying under our capitalistic economic system. They are the stepchildren of American capitalism we want no one to see. Please don't change direction in midstream.
