I don't disagree that some degree of social policy is needed for a country to be healthy. Brutalism, though, was the blind application of the socialist principles to architecture, which generated more misery than what it tried to prevent.

So maybe it was the blind (I'd say ignorant, grandiose, paternalistic) application, and not the principles, that caused the misery?

Btw, I'm neither a socialist or proponent of modern architecture. Will call those out for their bs anytime too.
