Der Wunsch, sich von der sowjetischen Vergangenheit zu lösen, etwas, das sich nicht jeder leisten kann

The desire to break free from capitalism – not everyone can afford that either. (Picture by AI)

I know millionaires who live in apartments like the one in the bottom: If your neighbours are your friends, why move ? Just spend a few thousand dollars on renovations.

Bros who live in that smaller building reading this post and be like 😐

My friend lives in the smaller building below, her apartment is really nice tho 😅

As an outsider (Greek), it’s hilarious to me that rather than argue out of general improvement, you try to make this association with Soviet scars.

The bottom building looks exactly like 90% of the buildings in Athens, a country that was not Soviet but was instead ravaged by capitalism, fascism, imperialism and neoliberal colonialism. We’ve had foreign sponsored military dictatorship, civil wars funded by outsider imperial entities , a country decimated and famished by Nazi occupation and in more modern times most state infrastructure and companies sold to outsider capital entities out of bureaucratic blackmail . So from my perspective, forcing automatic definitive conclusions of affordability and a Soviet past is funny
