Lol I wouldn't brag on the blocs comrade, there are many problems with them.
Yeah no shit. Literally everything has ups and downs. The USSR just got through a world war against a power that was trying to genocide and colonise their land. Entire cities were destroyed. Millions were made homeless. Commie blocks were a good thing and yet they're shat on. Like what else were they meant to do?
It's true, this is a much better solution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tent_cities_in_the_United_States
One has nothing to do with the other? I thought we were talking about blocs.
The OP is about how liberals react to public housing built in the USSR: with horror
Meanwhile their own political/economic system does not even attempt to supply all those in need with housing, and leaves its citizens to rot in tent camps or with even less shelter, exposing clear double standards and hypocrisy
Apologies that I missed the context then
What are you playing dumb?
I mean, either you have a state that actually spend the resources to house people, or you get that.
How so?
Those damned Soviets haven't done any maintenance on them since 1991
Maybe I'm just bitter about the boatload of money I paid for repairs only for the fucking elevator to work only 3 months of the year. I was on floor 13. I remember similar complaints from others.
