To pick from a very old thread NYC and Chicago rapidly became the largest cities in the country because the two most valuable canals in the country until the first half of the last century ran through NY and IL with only New Orleans as real competition. All three of those cities became very well known and still are known as cesspools of corruption. Fascism is not the same as being the political arm of corruption, so I think the OP is not addressing the real issue of the Ds being a political protection racket that does what their mob bosses tell them to do.
