hm if europe is socialist, socialism won... detroit looks like the set of mad max, even the poorest parts of europe are way more safe. u can have holidays in greece without fear. try the same in detroit...

Not sure why you'd use crime to crituqe an economic system.

In Detroit the Median income is ~$25,000.

In Greece it's ~$15,000.

well the most people care more about not beeing shot for chickenwings than about 10.000$ more a year...

and u dont think the total breakdown in detroit has something to do with the economic system?  or are poor people from greece just nicer than poor americans?

 

Nicer?  No.  Less Violent.  Yes.

Detroit doesn't have NEARLY the food security problems Greece does.

Culture is a factor in crime afterall.

 

Also... total Breakdown in detroit?   That's pretty hyperbolic.

 

 

It peaked in 2012, and is headed downwards again, 47% in 2007, even though they've made more police cutbacks and the economy is worse there.
