Ugh, please tell me that the next Revolution will have better aesthetical sense than the last one

what did he mean by this?

I grew up surrounded by brutalism so I like it. It makes me feel comfy.

Under socialism there will be a revivalism of gothic and flamboyant gothic architechture styles.

what the fuck

I know this is bait, but I'll reply sincerely since architecture is interesting. While brutalist buildings are often hideous, anti-humanist and terrible to live in, they do have their charm. They where the results of technocrats (both socdem and communist) who wanted to usher in a new age for the modern man. Unfortunately for them there is no modern man, and people prefer to live as they've almost always lived, in small, comfy and traditional homes.
I think in an actual communist society, where people collectively decide over the housing they're themselves going to live in(instead of technocrats who think they know better), we'll see a return to more classical styles of architecture, and possibly new ways of living we didn't even know to be possible

I'd much rather brutalism than post-modern architecture. Brutalism owns.

Same.


Are you implying those are bad? They look good to me, I'd live there.

Are these from Heroes of Might and Magic III?

No. The first one is from Riven (the sequel to Myst), and the other is a random deviant art image.

tfw superman could carve entire free cities out of mountains but chooses to only do a tiny one to spite leftists

I miss the days of the old hibernian conspiracy it was actually funny rather than forced like this shit.

A house carved into a mountain would be cold as fuck, additionally he couldn't just magically use his strength to route plumbing, power or gas to it.

it would also be supremely badass

Would any of you live in a Khrushchevka?

I lived in many "commie blocs" in China. They're absolutely fine. Comfy, spacious enough, and have well tended grounds with a little guard dude, even in low rent areas.
Most have solar water heating too. Very comfy.

Two words: Socialist Classicism. Stalin had a good taste in architecture.

Are you an ancap who thinks every country is communist? Nobody here likes the capitalist architecture you posted.

Actual socialist housing

Uh, I do. Especially brutalism, brutalism is great.

Says the ancom

i think we should build more buildings like the Kremlin.

Actual socialist housing

shit taste my dude

Lemme guess, you like neoclassical architecture because it's pretty?

Sounds cozy as fuck

This isn't the Kremlin, that's the Cathedral of St-Basil. I'd expect a NazBol to at least know this…

Don't expect nazbols of knowing anything…
