What would an ancom society look like, *Aesthetically?
Or how would you, as an ancom, prefer to design its looks? Would the architecture of the commune lean towards being uncaring in aesthetics and simply be functional, or would a certain aesthetic and/or employment of symbols (raised fist, socialist roses, red/black memorabilia etc.) be encouraged with the motivation of enhancing "beauty" and/or a unified cultural identity within the commune, if that wouldn't contradict the vision of the society?
In my head, the stereotype of the ancom society is that everything is cheaply made because money and profit incentives are gone. Buildings more than 10 stories tall would lack, at least, the capitalist reasons for existing or being built. Graffiti and murals would be on nearly every wall. I also envision a codependent, or at least more friendly relationship with nature, trees, greenery etc. "hippie"-like elements, that employs bio-architecture. But what would it be to you?
