This fucking thing. Communism has awful standards for workers, for the environment and everything. Some asbestos commie block is supposedly amazing. Clothing made out of pure plastic is amazing. Everyone being incompetent and stealing at a factory is amazing.
I suppose if the previous standard for a tsarist era peasant was a wooden shack in the middle of nowhere, a brutalist block might be seen as a step up. In which case the commie does have a pedantic point. But the overall standards for a regular guy in a communist country was still well below what a minimum wage worker in the west had access to.
