Munger is a real proponent of Chinese-style capitalism and generally praises the idea of social-credit systems.

It only makes sense that his architecture style would also favor brutalism. He probably repurposed some of the designs of the old commie-blocks from eastern europe.

Do you know what brutalism means in architecture? It means exposed concrete, Munger's design is not brutalism. Also what "commie-blocks from eastern europe" are you referencing? I can't think of any eastern european apartment buildings that resemble this design in any way. (They tend to have windows)

NO, China arrested Alibaba's Jack Ma: https://www.forbes.com/sites/georgecalhoun/2021/06/24/what-r...

China inprisons successful entrepreneurs and takes away their property. The concept of private property in China is there just to show.

So no, Munger is far from being a real proponent of a Chinese-style capitalism.
