using history; documents, facts, and common sense...i see the connection between racism and capitalism, and how it has failed the people of that region. social welfare has been the last and only string keeping this place from being a straight out war zone. the only bit of hope and the only thing dividing their miserable existance from despair and starvation is these programs. It was circumventing capitalism that failed the city. You can not blame capitalism for destroying a city, when it has not been practiced there in over 50 years. (except for the black market) The people of that town, have been GIVEN much more than the needed to survive, for the last several decades. The town continues to decline. It's not capitalism that failed it's the idea of "social welfare." If i want my neighborhood to go the way ESt did, all i would have to do is, buy all the houses and pay deutchbag people to live there. I bet it would not be a year, till every house in the neighborhood was destroyed. Nobody appreciates that which they didn't EARN.
