From Detroit here, and hopeful about the future of the industry there, but this is 100% true. I've lived all over the world and North American cities are the worst. Racism and the auto industry are largely to blame. The way our cities were destroyed and rebuilt is not socially or financially sustainable. Thirty years after being built most suburbs can't support their own infrastructure costs with their low-density tax bases. Many people in Detroit and the automotive industry now understand this in a deeply personal way. Detroit is slowly rebuilding itself and even removing some of its highways. They are building more mixed-use areas and higher-density housing. I'm sad to see other growing parts of the country continuing to make the same mistakes, and that will haunt them in a few decades. GM and Ford are also, while not angels, changing their tune about urban development and transportation. I follow the industry closely, and they are ahead of the curve compared to most other companies. And if anyone on here is going to say they should die and make way for Tesla, I can tell you Tesla is just as evil if not more so about the policies they lobby for. We don't want a Tesla Monopoly. That would be a nightmare.

[@TohaBgood2]

Lol, what does capitalism have to do with it? Do you think that the Soviets did any better? They tried to do the exact same things as the West. They just didn't have the money to finish the job. Just like in the US, they got rid of a ton of electric tram networks and replaced them with diesel busses. They built new highways and promised "every soviet citizen their personal automobile." They quickly realized that they could either match the West in terms of guns and tanks, or in terms of cars and highways, so they had to knock it off. But again, just because the commies were less efficient at building highways and getting people cars, absolutely does not mean that they didn't try to do the exact same crap! Any differences in outcome were induced by economic reality rather than genuine desire to do better in this regard.

[@Knightmessenger]

How is it a capitalistic documentary? The original video is telling people to support more tax subsidies for private corporations and radically transform cities from their grassroutes design into a top down government planned monotony. It's actually the last type of thing a conservative wanting to support traditional values should like. Somehow people got the idea that if corporations are in favor or benefit from something, it must be a free market policy. And america is the epitome of free enterprise so anything that deviates from strict exclusionary zoning, mandated parking spaces, private property demolished for roads and other government regulations is anti freedom? In reality, the USA rank on the economic freedom index has dropped significantly over the last 20 years.

There is little if any public transportation in Detroit. Auto companies are the reason!

[@Knightmessenger]

Actually no. Not with Detroit. The city mostly screwed themselves out of having good transit. In the 1920s, Mayor Couzens vetoed a proposal to build a subway. He wanted the city to buy up the streetcar lines because he thought they were greedy for raising the fare and as if it didnt cost anything to provide the service. One such subway proposal was supported by the automakers, according to a 2014 article by Ryan Felton. (How Detroit ended up with the worst transit) The city couldnt afford to maintain the streetcar lines (guess they did require money to maintain after all) and many fell into direpair. The city decided buses would be able to better avoid traffic and decided to scrap the lines just 30 years after taking it away from those oh so greedy profiteers. The city enthusiasticly built the freeways that went right around downtown. Sure the auto companies probably supported this but not to the extent the city was powerless to oppose them. In the 80s, the city had all kinds of money available to build new rail. Only a downtown loop got built because the city and suburbs could not come to an agreement on how to spend the 600 million. In 2016, voters narrowly rejected a proposal to fund expanded mass transit. The auto companies didnt really take a public stance on that either.

[@Knightmessenger]

What I think hurt Detroit far more than the auto companies themselves were huge distrust between city and suburbs after the 1967 riots. Lack of electing council members by district until 2013. Until then, all 9 members were voted on at large by all of the city. This meant that other voices likely didnt get heard, but not that GM lobbied Detroit any more than other places, just that way of electing city leaders already happened to be unrepresntative. The city did often try to do everything to keep the auto companies happy. But this could have been a mentality by city leadership that they only needed to rely on one industry. Trying to mimic the suburbs with fortress like complexes and gated communities in new developments that did get done during the 70s and 80s.

[@MrTaxiRob]

@@thisone98 I'm saying that it would be much easier to point out the reasons why PRC isn't socialist. The USSR didn't have glaringly obvious market capitalist features like the PRC does. For the USSR you'd have to go into far more detail about ideology vs. its bureaucratic structure, and you'd have to contrast our modern theories of socialism against orthodox Marxism, Marxism-Leninism, Stalinism etc. It would be a lot more work. I think it might be more interesting to do a "what if" segment about the Mensheviks, or if Trotsky had succeeded Lenin. That might provide a more practical avenue of exploring the break from socialist theory into the USSR's actual practices.

[@beangobernador]

In my opinion, no matter how you look at it, the ussr DOES fall under the general term of socialism just like how Europe or the US falls under the general term of capitalism; though in reality they are specifically neoliberal, which is an ideology of “government capitalism” I guess you can call it. Now, it’s easy to just dismiss the country as “NoT tRuE sOcIalISm” but by those standards, no country has ever been even slightly socialist, thereby dismissing decades of socialist progress. So-called socialist utopia is not instant, you need to play the long game of history and learn from the USSR, the first ever socialist country. It’s easy to dismiss their atrocities to make socialism seem more appealing, but taking a historically educated perspective is much better. No, I’m not telling you to justify stalin’s purges or the invasion of Afghanistan or the religious suppression among many other things, but what I am telling you to do is study the causes of the faults of the USSR. Namely the numerous wars it has been through that tore the country apart, forcing bureaucracy and decades of paranoia amplified by the cold war. I personally have the stance of viewing America and the western powers as the aggressors, but you really don’t need that viewpoint to learn from the ussr. You can just as well view it more neutrally, as just countries acting in their own best interests. By that more neutral perspective, the ussr was just in an unfortunate situation that caused socialism to quote unquote “fail.” However you view it, the fact is, the ussr was in a terrible situation nonetheless, feudalism into a brutal civil war, then into the devastating second world war, and finally the cold war. Note that the first red scare took place during the russian revolution, one major reason why I view the west as the aggressors. So considering all this hardship, can you expect the soviet union to be perfect? No, of course not, especially not after stalin’s reign. Now time to address the oppression itself. No, it wasn’t 1984 police state dystopia buzzword buzzword. It was no worse and probably much better than western regimes, even stalin himself is overly demonized while the west commits atrocities on the same level of him. People living in the west like to view the USSR as this caricature of oppression, but many fail to realize an extremely obvious fact, the ussr was the enemy, of course they’ll get slandered, just like how they slandered the west as overly evil. Soviet surveillance? Ever heard of the patriot act? Ever heard of the internet? Make no mistake, you *are* being watched. Eastern bloc? Yeah as if anti-communist sentiment isn’t just as bad if not worse. Not to mention the eastern bloc viewed the west as this utopia, completely ignoring the state welfare and just leaving the country for the west, huge economic impact there. In addition the ussr had to rebuild from wwii (the eastern bloc was forced to pay for it), did the US have to do that? No, they were an ocean away from the nazis. Food shortages? Ever heard of covid? Soviet shortages are much the same, most cases a result of crisis, well I guess it was in crisis most of the time from western oppression. Bureaucracy? Well I don’t think I need to mention the US’ two party duopoly, also the ussr WAS democratic, it had council (soviet) democracy. In short, the ussr was not this caricature the west paints it as, but there is no doubt that it was certainly horribly oppressive. And if communism is so bad, then why did living standards plummeted to absurd levels after it switched to capitalism? Turning a second world superpower to a mere third world country struggling for survival, that is the results of capitalism. Communism (or I guess marxist leninism), though worse than socialism in my opinion, is certainly not worse than capitalism. IN CONCLUSION! Yes, the ussr was socialist, yes it did commit some questionable things, though not as bad as the west paints it as. But it did not exist in a vacuum, it went through hell and still survived to send the first man to space, to establish a welfare system never seen before in that region’s history, to provide universal employment, to become the second world superpower, and all from the ruins of feudalism, all in 69 years. Why should all those achievements be dismissed because it was oppressive? Why should socialist history be ignored for the sake of your utopian vision of socialism? Let’s stop this western brainwashing, let’s learn from the ussr and nor dismiss it. This has been my ted talk, I’m going to piss now, bye

[@weenisw]

Yes to an extent but I’d put forth that the larger contributor to lack of housing is that nearly all new development has been regulated/zoned to have excessive parking minimums, excessive lot setbacks, anti-freedom prohibitions of any housing type other than single family, and mandatory separation of residential from commercial to beyond walking distance
