Ah yes, the building really drives home the message that no expense will be spared on the ruling class once the revolution has happened and the peasants settle in beneath their new oppressors :-)
- CrackerNews 4y agoThe concrete and aluminum does not seem like "no expenses will be spared" to me. It looks like sculpted artistic streaks to elevate the otherwise shabbiness to a sci-fi futurism. Whether the peasants would be oppressed is another can of worms topic, but I think it would be best expressed by growth rates of the USSR and China compared to their peers in similar conditions of industrial development.
