Same thing happened in Eastern Europe and the former USSR. The crime rate went nuts in all of those places and most of them got significantly taken over by Organized Crime gangs.
Now I agree that there are many great things about capitalism and in many ways it is better than Communism. But the links between capitalism and crime are very deep. In a nutshell, capitalism causes crime. Period. Now you can say well I will take that crime increase because I want that higher standard of living, but capitalist fanboys refuse to even admit to the capitalism-crime connection. A read a book chapter a while back that compared even Western European countries and found that the more socialism they had, the less crime, and vice versa.
Blacks have a low crime rate under Communism, but under capitalism, their crime rate goes wild. Cuba is 37% Black by genome. Havana is a very Black city. Havana is the safest large city in Latin America. What crime exists is generally property crime. The violent crime rate is quite low. When people here that there is little crime in Cuba, conservatives say stupid things like, “That’s because there’s nothing to steal.” That’s not true, but it’s interesting. Haiti is far poorer than Cuba, but the crime rate is vastly higher. The property crime rate is much higher also. If there’s nothing to steal in Cuba, there’s clearly even less to steal in Haiti.
People don’t realize that even in very poor places like ghettos, barrios, favelas, slums, shantytowns, and very poor countries, there is still lots and lots of stuff to steal. Even poor people usually have some stuff. The property crime rates are explosive in ghettos, barrios, favelas, slums and shantytowns. Clearly there’s plenty of stuff to steal.
I have a theory for why Blacks commit so much more crime under capitalism than they do under Communism, but I will let you commenters take it away.
