Fairly close to:

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

From Communist Goals (1963)

So why not go the extra mile and screw up entire buildings, right, Xiden?

PING!

I've heard that "brutalism" is making a comeback.

It is written: “Democrat President Franklin Delano Roosevelt drew inspiration from the great Republican of the Civil War, championing the classical and moving ahead with Washington construction...” Not so fast. Under his tenure there was the institution of the “Egyptian Revival” a movement noted for its ugly buildings and only surpassed by the cracker boxes begun under Lyndon Johnson. (An example, the hideous FBI building begun in 1967.)

We will be looking towards 1970’s East Berlin for inspiration.

Democrat scum hate Greek democracy and all western culture. All symbols of it must be eradicated.

Heaven forbid that brutalist architecture returns to public buildings. Brutalism combines the worst features of Egyptian, Etruscan, earlyAmerican railroad station and Stalinist architectural designs.

Well, if you’re going to have Socialism, the Socialist Realism goes with it.

I remember how weird it was when I had to visit the new, local courthouse in the mid-1990s - it looked like a condominium at the beach, not a building that would inspire any reverence or respect for Law at all...

President Thomas Jefferson, founder of the Democratic Party

That party did not exist then.

Joe Biden was, is, and ever will be a clown. He will beclown himself, his office, and anything he touches. Before long this country could end up looking like Soviet-era Russia.

How soon before they start calling Classical Architecture “degenerate art”?

What Joe really dislikes are Trump-appointed board members standing in the way of his patronage plans.
