I was chatting with someone about Steampunk and Dieselpunk. They are often art concepts of people of the past imagining these types of art deco worlds of the future. A future that might have been or a future that never came to be.
Often the artist is of today imagining things from a past perspective point.
I rather like this upbeat image of a prosperous Soviet Union society. The futurist 1930s where there was no Starlin etc. Here is a splendid look of a more perfect Soviet Union than we might expect. A world where the Soviet Union is prosperous on an encouraging panoramic urban level. Better perhaps, than any of the Socialist Rupubilics' actually was.
1. Could such a socialist dream have been realised?
2. What would have needed to happen besides no oncoming World War Two?
3. Perhaps in this world, the democracies became urban decaying crime-ridden areas and the East was prosperous?
4. Could such a thing ever have happened?
