" Detroit is returning to the days of the early 20th century when it and other nearby industrial cities like Pontiac and Flint were “company towns,” whose economies and political establishment was controlled with an iron fist by General Motors, Ford and Chrysler—and resistance by workers was met with violent repression. Today, the emergency manager and the Democratic Party political establishment are handing over the city to one or two billionaires, who will exploit a labor force that pays them inflated rents, shops at their stores and spends leisure time at their stadiums, casinos, clubs and restaurants." This is being done after the area has been devastated by deindustrialisation, and the cutting of funds by federal, state, and municipal governments. Is this the blueprints of the Corporate Fascists for the rest of us?
