I hate the commie architecture so much it’s a complete eye sore aaaaaaan I’m going insane

no
commieblock planning is focused on making microdistricts where everything walkable and then separating them by like 200 meters from each other. it's actually not walkable at all

Same thing happened here.
I guess they couldn't keep up with increasing demand for free shit and had to cut costs. Plus there was a lot of corruption.

comepletely comfy living in a commieblock
there is a grocery shop 30m away from me and a apothek 50m away. you have open spaces and benches for chilling. the only down side is people park their gay cars everywhere. belgium for me was a terrible experience. you need a car for everything. i hate cars.

I love soviet archivtecture, it is enough modern and simple. I also want live in place that is on your pic. Don't like artsy eurpean castles and different difficult things

people would like communism more if communists actually used the resources and unlimited power to build something more livable, like working-class terraced housing

actually terraced housing isn't that much more expensive than commieblocks, since houses are close to each other, while like said, commieblocks waste a lot of empty space around them. I'm pretty sure you can build more or less the same number of (terraced) houses in the area where a commieblock with the same number of apartments stands, but still it's much better to live in a house, with your own backyard and no neighbors above and below you.

This but also corruption, aka I’ll let my friends build shitty commieblocks as much as they want

i don't think there was 'corruption' in communism in this sense because who could benefit from that if everything belonged to the state anyway? there could be some individual cases of corruption/mismanagement like construction workers stealing and selling building materials in the grey market but i doubt it could work this way so someone could be bribed to design a simple commieblock instead of pompous sophisticated architecture. It was just the change of state policy

>everything was managed by the state
>how could corruption exist
Is this an unironic post?

why is there Ä in Slovak?

there was corruption but it couldn't really be applied to architecture, the architectural shift between the 1950s and 60s was caused primarily by changing attitudes to architecture overall, merely ideological factors, not financial ones

'corruption' would imply that someone bribed the first secretary to build commieblocks instead of marble-made buildings which is ridiculous.

It wasn't an answer dude. The change of state policy is just a fact but the real question is what caused it. Why commies simply stopped liking nice architecture and started loving ugly, cheap, concrete monstrosities.

the socialist states in their foundation meant that anytime there was too much corruption, all it took is someone like a stalin or a xi to keep all the other politicians in line because of the dictatorial role that marxism leninism trends to. As a result politicians couldn't benefit off of socialism as nearly as much as capitalism and capitalists either didn't exist or lived under the thumb of the State as they do in China today. The reasoning above is probably one of the reasons the parties in eastern europe allowed themselves to dissolve because they could use their already established power to gain class status in a new capitalist system selling off state industry.

Commie architecture is better than modern 25+ human hives.

khrsuchev was in a culture war against the US to try and show off socialism as being better than capitalism, but he wasn't a nearly as good statesman as Stalin, and everyone else in the politoburo didn't seem to be that great either. One of the goals of the socialist countries afaik in the 50s was to get rid of homelessness. Homelessness by the 50s wasnt as bad as compared to capitalist countries but it could still be improved so they invented the commieblock as a cheap way to try and curb homelessness while providing a minor amount of modern luxuries like electronic appliances to backwards rural countries.

The problem of course is the aesthetics of the original commieblocks were pretty ugly although it seems some countries like chezkslovakia put trees and parks around them to make them look better and kinda have variety.

The khruschev culture war also lead to some other funny incidents like all of the corn related state propaganda of them trying to grow corn and failing or how they tried to show off how socialism was increasing meat production by slaughtering extra cattle for one year which increased one year's worth of meat production but slowed the following years

>it seems some countries like chezkslovakia put trees and parks around them

all countries did it, the USSR was no exception
