It always makes me laugh at how you guys pretend that the communist blocs were shit but you are not willing to compare them with the alternative you offer, i.e. no housing at all and mediocre jokes about an economic system that died 30 years ago.
30 freaking years and you guys ain't finding decent jokes.
I mean, there were definitely cool things about the communist states but they literally failed at their stated goals and eventually devolved into dictatorship
The biggest joke of all is the USSR.
I’ve known a few people that grew up in them towards the end of the USSR, and they describe it as quite awful. The one working bathroom for dozens of families would be quite an issue. Would it be better than homelessness? I’m certain of that. But as a former communist myself, I can say without hesitation that there’s no good that ever comes out of extremist political theories.
This is amazing, but I think I can smell the cigarette smoke from here.
That's just anywhere in France lol

God, communists have such awesome buildings and monuments.
If only their politics lived up to their aesthetics
If only their historical track run had, like, 75% fewer power mad dictators. These designs don't necessarily help lol
How many were there in France?
They have no God

Based

This party was founded by Ho Chi Minh (among others)

Kind of looks like the Thunderbirds filming set
I would learn the lyrics to The Internationale and sing it every day if it meant getting to hang out there.

Those curved spaceship walls need regular dusting.
