For all the ballyhoo about ugly Communist apartment blocks, I think the architecture of modern American capitalism - strip malls, highways, tract homes, office parks, is even more dehumanizing.  Fast food and chains of all kinds also suggest a homogenization of choice by large, impersonal organizations.  Really in practice it is hard to see a great deal of difference 'on the ground' between Capitalism and Communism, though no doubt the inequality was less severe under the latter.

Too opebo and all who read this, this will be my official response to everything opebo says for the time being.

Look around yourself man, the country is completely homogenized and awful.  The only areas that look different at all are the ghettos and the neighborhoods in which the Owning Class resides.
