I don't think: "ah, buildings again. I'd rather live in camps featuring trash scent."
The communist housing blocks are also not super high on my list of "why I don't want to live in a communist dictatorship"
Imagine we could take care of the poor while at the same time not revert to a totalitarian dictatorship. Like if we could do both?
That's complete nonsense though, obviously. We get either to take care of the poor and go full Stalin or not and not. /s
Hell I live in a social democracy that on the whole runs pretty well so you have my vote.
But the place in this picture was probably a Stalinist dictatorship or at least that's implied.
Mass housing wasn't mass while Stalin was in power. Search for Stalinka, this is very not mass housing.
The bottom picture also has a high rise apartment building in the background.
Except it's owned by rent oligopolist.
