It turns out that when capitalism replaces socialism the capitalists don’t bother to maintain socialist public infrastructure. Who could have seen that coming? 🤔
Or any public infrastructure
Wait until these lib shitfucks see Cleveland, Detroit, or Chicago…
Honestly, Chicago gets a bit of an undeserved reputation that realllllllllyyyyyyy reeks of white supremacist rhetoric and the entire idea that “We let the blacks have the city and they turned it into a shithole”. Most of it is really beautiful with incredibly unique architecture, pretty good city planning, museums, restaurants, apartments… and just life?
Plus the city is really gentrified and expensive. You won’t really find those meme “rundown abandoned” areas unless you really look hard. It did have a period of significant downturn in the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s, but it’s bounced back hard.
Now if you want a REAL dystopia, look no further then Gary Indiana, any city in the south, LA, or 94% of the United States.
i see people complain about commie blocks in my local city because ‘m-muh eyesore’ but fuck all i see is the solution to homelessness that could be built incredibly quickly that would harm nothing except profits and skylines and i feel sick that it’s not enough for some people
When well maintained and with some help from mural artists they could be fucking gorgeous.
this is just the downtown of every city
also it would look nice if you put money into repairing them
And maintaining the green spaces, planting a couple of trees.
If you think this looks apocalyptic you must have never seen the ghetto in Paris.
or any city in the US
Or, like, any of Britain’s former industrial core.
It looks like any poor area of the US except the US would never have grass
My family lives nearby and I was also there 30+ years ago in socialism. The run down look is a result of capitalism. Thanks to capitalism, people just don’t have enough money to maintain their buildings properly. This hasn’t been maintained since the end of socialism. The urban planning of these blocks is still much better than present day for-profit construction.
What no maintenance does to a mfer
Never orientalism also applies to Europe of all places.
