First one looks okay to me, id love to have my own quiet home
Cars, yeah no, i don't like to drive
I don't get the funky pops and the old man houses, might as well complain about action figures and schools
Neighborhoods like that are not quiet and you'll be driving everywhere because there's nothing other than more houses for miles.
Plus it's not saying that houses are bad, it's saying that single family homes in exclusively residential zones are bad.
Action figures are toys that people buy for their children to play with. Funko pops represent worthless plastic trash that people buy because of marketing brainwashing.
And "old man house"? oh ok I can see I that I've wasted my time.
I fight for managed democracy
Truly Managed Democracy is a mellifluous clarion, ringing throughout the galaxy
I dont have a house or a retirement to fight for.
Actually, this is what you're fighting for in Capitalism:
Not for yourself, though, rather for a few who add up to less than 0.0000375% of Humanity.
Weren't they going to build a 5-mile wide boat that looked like a turtle. Where's that, I'm fighting for that.
Look man, I'm all for criticisms of capitalism, but stuff like this ain't gonna cut it...
Yes because communist countries have ellegant urban planning 🤡
That can literally be the US with roads 2 miles wide
Bro this could be literally any large east-Asian city on an overcast day, most (all?) of which have better urban planning than the rest of the world by a large margin, and most of which fall firmly on the "capitalist" side of the spectrum. "Bloc" housing (or as we call them over here, big-ass apartment buildings) aren't some communist-exclusive phenomenon.
Not sure about this picture, but generally Soviet blocs were built with lots of surrounding green space, all the amenities you’d need within walking distance, and the rest of the city connected by public transport. Way more human-friendly than the US suburban hellscape.
Westoids think bloc housing is uglier than homelessness.
If only there were more than these two dreary instantiations of differing economic frameworks, but as alas, I know only of these two pictures.
This is the kind of socialist hellscape the capitalist is protecting us from.
Edit: Dense mixed used urban development, biking to work, walking to your nearest weekly market, buying unprocessed food for groceries and common public area easily accessible by foot for old people where they can mix with other generations.
All these pictures are from capitalist countries
No, honey, we have European Cities at home
What City is this?
The photo on the top left is of Crest, France.
It looks like it was taken from the tower in Crest, France, but I might be wrong
It is, it's a great place to visit or live in.
Image search says you're right. Looks idyllic
That's actually Chess, a board game that came out several years ago.
Hmm but what if I want to make thousands of people work for me without giving any excess value created by their labour to anyone else?
Urban sprawl, car dependency, vinyl rubbish, famine pensions.
